The American-Canadian actor, who became a household name through his role as Chandler Bing in the hit US sitcom, was found unresponsive at his Los Angeles home.
Actor Matthew Perry, who gained fame in the 1990s as the wise-cracking Chandler Bing in the top-rated US television comedy Friends and chronicled his decades-long battle with substance abuse in a memoir last year, has died aged 54. Perry was found in a jacuzzi with no sign of foul play, a law enforcement source told the Los Angeles Times. Authorities rushed to a call over a cardiac arrest, emergency sources told the media.
Hidden from the public's view during much of the original run was Perry's prolonged struggle with addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol, which he detailed in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing. "Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should be dead," Perry wrote in the opening of the book.
