Friends star Matthew Perry, 54, was discovered dead in his L.A. home’s hot pool

Actor Matthew Perry of “Friends” was discovered dead in his Los Angeles home’s hot tub on Saturday, according to law enforcement officials. 54 was his age.

When authorities arrived to his house at 4 p.m., they found him to be unconscious. The sources did not provide a cause of death; they spoke under anonymity because the probe was still continuing. Per sources, no narcotics were discovered at the scene. In addition, law enforcement sources indicate that no foul play is suspected. When The Times asked Perry for comment, his representative did not get back to them right away.

The death is being looked into by robbery-homicide investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department. The Los Angeles County coroner’s office will ascertain the cause of death at a later time.

The Warner Bros. Television Group, the company that produced “Friends,” released a statement to The Times stating, “We are devastated by the passing of our dear friend Matthew Perry.” Matthew was a tremendously talented actor who left a lasting legacy within the Warner Bros. Television Group. His humorous talent had an international influence, and he will always be remembered in the hearts of countless people. We offer our condolences to his family, loved ones, and all of his ardent supporters on this terrible day.

“We are deeply grieved by the untimely demise of Matthew Perry,” NBC, the network that broadcast the show for ten seasons, stated in a statement to The Times. His caustic wit and impeccable comedic timing delighted hundreds of millions of people all around the world. His influence will endure for many decades.

The entrance to Bluesail Drive, a posh lane just off the Pacific Coast Highway at the top of a hill with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, was shut off on Saturday evening by yellow and black LAPD crime scene tape.

Journalists and LAPD cops were joined on the scene shortly after 7 p.m. by Perry’s mother Suzanne and her husband, broadcaster Keith Morrison, as numerous helicopters circled overhead. Morrison opted not to respond. At the site, an LAPD officer stated that he was unsure when any information would be available and that he did not have any.

Perry’s Bluesail Drive neighbour Peter, who wished to remain anonymous on Saturday night, claimed to have only spoken to the actor once for five minutes, during which time he described him as “very pleasant” and a “nice guy.”

As he awaited permission to enter from the LAPD, who had prohibited journalists from breaching the police cordon, Peter remarked, “It’s shocking.” “He seemed fine, and he’s been renovating this house for forever.” It’s quite depressing.

Another neighbour, Leo, who asked not to be identified by name, said he was at home when Perry’s ambulance arrived on Saturday afternoon. He would not say if a body was taken from the scene or if paramedics attempted to resuscitate Perry.
