A discussion on Matthew Perry’s personal and professional life often commences with his well-known struggles with addiction, the anonymity he craved but never got, and his multiple visits to rehab centres as he aimed to rid himself of an evil he eventually advocated against. The sarcasm he employed on and off the screen then could only be described as an antidote to the ‘troubled’ life he lived. In the process, he left his fans with a lifetime of memories as they remember him for the joy he brought to their lives with his humour. 

Perry, among the most celebrated figures of the ’90s owing to his portrayal of Chandler Bing in Friends, was reportedly found unresponsive at his Los Angeles home yesterday. It was reported that the actor, 54, had returned from a two-hour round of pickleball game, and sent his assistant on an errand. The assistant came back, and subsequently found Perry unresponsive in his jacuzzi.
