• Matthew Perry died aged 54.
• Law enforcement officers revealed that he drowned.
• Fans have since reacted to Perry's untimely passing with reference to his last social media post.

Award-winning television star Matthew Perry has passed away. His devastated fans expressed sadness while looking back at his last social media upload.

The Screen Actors Guild Award winner was a veteran actor best known for starring as the hilarious Chandler Bing in the '90s television sitcom, "Friends."

He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc in the beloved series that aired for ten seasons from 1994 to 2004.

Almost a year ago, Perry released his memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing," in which he discussed his life story filled with highs and lows. He explained he wanted to share his life with others before he relapsed, adding:

"[...] And the main thing was, I was pretty certain that it would help people."

Perry had battled addiction for several years and had been in and out of rehab many times. In his book, he revealed that he had faced a near-death experience when he was 49 years old.

"The Whole Nine Yards" star had reportedly suffered from a gastrointestinal perforation after his colon burst from opioid overuse, and spent weeks fighting for his life in the hospital.

Perry was in a coma for two weeks and was admitted to the hospital for five months, and used a colostomy bag for nine months. Doctors told him that he only had a 2% chance of survival. But the Massachusetts native eventually beat the odds and sobered up, as he admitted that he was "healthy" in a 2022 interview.

Perry's Tragic Death at His Home

Sadly, Perry was found dead on October 28, 2023, at his Los Angeles residence. Sources reportedly revealed that he came home after a two-hour round of pickleball and sent his assistant on an errand run after.

Once the said assistant returned after being away for two hours, he discovered the Hollywood star unresponsive and dialed 911. Multiple sources disclosed that first responders hurried over to his home on a call for cardiac arrest.

However, it remains a mystery what actually caused Perry's death. The police revealed that he appeared to have drowned as he was found in a jacuzzi.

There were reportedly no drugs found at the scene, and there appears to be no foul play either. The beloved star's cause of death is reportedly under investigation.

Fans React to Perry's Untimely Death & His Last Instagram Post

On October 23, 2023, Perry posted what would be his very last social media upload on Instagram. He shared a photo of himself in a jacuzzi and captioned the post, "Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman."

In the wake of his untimely passing, fans went back and commented on the post, expressing devastation at his demise. In the snapshot, Perry was pictured wearing headphones while looking away from the camera.

One heartbroken fan wrote, "This caption is so eerie now, 6 days later. So scary. Rest in Peace, man." "The fact that he died of drowning in a hot bathtub, and THIS is his last post where he says warm water makes him feel good. Did he know his death [was] coming," another person commented.

Someone else penned, "Rest in peace," alongside a heart emoji, while another thanked the now-late star, writing, "Thank you for all the joy you brought to this world. RIP...I hope your pain goes away..."

One fan expressed, "I am so sorry Matthew. May you find rest and peace finally. Thank you for being our Chandler Bing," alongside a broken heart emoji."Thank you for your memory, Matthew," said one online user alongside a white heart emoji.

Another individual stated, "Rest easy. We love you forever." Someone echoed the same sentiments, saying, "Thank you for all the laughs...RIP our FRIEND, will remember you forever," alongside a black heart emoji.

Perry, who starred in several other television shows and films throughout his career, never married. The Emmy Award winner is survived by his mother and stepfather. He was 54 years old.
