Chandler Bing was my favorite character in Friends. RIP!

I think most males of a certain age can relate to him.

Here is my thinking what happened. It sounds like he played racket ball for 2 hours before he hit his jacuzzi?

2 theories

He had a heart attack. While he was reportedly clean and sober, he was not watching his diet too much. Two hours of racket ball could have gotten his heart pupping hard and when he got into the jacuzzi--it cause either a stroke or heart attack

second theory.

Slip, trip and fall. He slipped or tripped on something, banged his head and fell into the jacuzzi


Either way this makes me sad.

This one hurts. My favorite actor growing up. I thought all of the Friends outside of Ross were perfectly cast, but Chandler the most. I just can’t think of how anyone could’ve played that character any better. Kind of freaked out to get in my hot tub again honestly.

RIP

Wear a life jacket. Or always hot tub with a healthy acquaintance.

"Perry has been open about his battle with drugs and alcohol over the course of his career. In 2019, Perry had a near-death experience after his colon burst due to opioid overuse, according to the actor's memoir. He underwent emergency seven-hour surgery and was told at the time that he had a 2% chance of survival"

"The actor took hydrocodone the night before his surgery. When he was administered propofol, an anaesthesia drug, during the procedure, a combination of the two medications stopped his heart...Perry wrote: “I was given the shot at 11am. I woke up eleven hours later in a different hospital. Apparently, the propofol had stopped my heart. For five minutes."

He didn't have the body of a normal 54 year old

He was quoted as saying " if I die it will shock everyone and surprise no one"

My hot tub has like 2 feet of water. It's not a danger zone.

3rd theory-- He went Phillip Seymour Hoffman and relapsed. It's more common than we want to admit sometimes. Sadly, being a long term guy in recovery, I've carried more than a few out of churches in boxes.

I am hoping that is not the case.

Indeed. I was very sad when Phil went back after 20 or so years.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

He was incredibly talented and funny, and the most important part of Friends. Always the one to hit the last comedic note in a scene. He seemed like a really good person from people who worked with him early in his career to those at his peak. Addiction is brutal and unrelenting, but he fought his demons and got to the other side and you so wanted him to have a long, happy, life.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Rewatched Friends a few years ago, was not as good as I remembered. But Matthew Perry carried that show. Truly a legend.

His hot tub looks more like a hot pool, really wild that his last post is him in the hot tub too

The last pic of him in public wasn't a flattering look. Then there's Keith Richards, my all time hero just for being alive

 

[Bounces R Way]

This one hurts a lot. 54 is too young man.
Loved him as Chandler obviously, The Whole Nine Yards was also a favourite of mine growing up.

Rest peacefully Matthew

Now parked in our seats, movie trivia's the illest.

"What Friends alum starred in movies with Bruce Willis?"

We answered so fast it was scary.

Everyone stared in awe as we shouted, "Matthew Perry!"

 

[BHD]

He was famous for playing Chandler; and Chandler was beloved because of his performance. Simply put, he was meant for that role. It’s sad that his work is overshadowed by his struggles.

Forth theory: he was a die hard Ottawa Senators fan.
