Matthew Perry, renowned for his role as Chandler Bing in ‘Friends,’ departs at the age of 54.

Beloved actor Matthew Perry, known for his iconic portrayal of Chandler Bing on the hit TV series “Friends,” has passed away at the age of 54.

Perry was discovered deceased at a residence in the Los Angeles area on a tragic Saturday.

The initial report of this sad news came from TMZ, based on information from law enforcement sources, and it was later confirmed by the Los Angeles Times.

Perry was found in a jacuzzi at the residence, with no evidence of drugs found at the scene.

Authorities from the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call regarding the passing of a man in his 50s at Perry’s address, although they did not officially confirm the identity of the deceased.

Sources cited by TMZ have emphasized that foul play is not suspected, as first responders were called to the residence for a reported case of cardiac arrest.

While just a year ago, Matthew Perry was seen as clean and sober, concerns among fans were raised about his appearance during the promotion of the Friends reunion show the year prior.

Observations were made by many that he displayed signs of ill health on occasion, including slurred speech and moments of disorientation.

Aside from his widely documented battles with substance abuse, Perry confronted significant health challenges that required hospitalization. One notably concerning episode involved a gastrointestinal perforation, a condition demanding immediate surgical intervention. Thankfully, he managed to make a successful recovery from this life-threatening experience.
