In a shocking turn of events, the official death certificate of beloved actor Matthew Perry,
who passed away last month, has been revealed.
Perry, known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit TV show “Friends,”
was found in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home.
The death certificate, obtained by The Blast, indicates that the official cause of Perry’s death is being deferred pending toxicology reports. These reports, expected to take weeks, will provide more insight into the circumstances surrounding the actor’s untimely demise.
Matthew Perry’s industry is listed as entertainment, and the informant for the death certificate is noted as his stepfather, Keith Morrison. While initial toxicology reports did not detect meth or fenil in Perry’s system, more comprehensive testing is underway to determine if the actor had any prescription medication in his system at the time of his death.
Perry, who had been open about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, documented his challenges in his 2022 memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” He revealed turning to street dealers for opioids after his colon exploded in 2018. However, those close to him insist that he was clean and sober at the time of his death.
Friends and co-stars, including Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Courtney Cox, and David Schwimmer, gathered for Perry’s funeral at Forest Lawn Memorial Park last Friday. The 54-year-old actor was buried in a family-only ceremony in a dark wooden coffin.
The cemetery, opposite Warner Brothers Studios where “Friends” was filmed, is the final resting place for numerous Hollywood stars, including Carrie Fisher, Betty Davis, and Stan Laurel. Perry’s grave site has been intentionally kept private, with floral tributes removed to prevent public attention.
As the entertainment world mourns the loss of Matthew Perry, the cause of his death remains a mystery, and fans must await the results of the pending toxicology report for more information.
