The Los Angeles Times and TMZ.com, both citing unnamed law enforcement sources, reported that the American-Canadian performer was found dead in a hot tub or jacuzzi. The series made international celebrities out of all six castmates, playing a close-knit group of young adults who shared space in one another's apartments and met for coffee at the"Central Perk," a fictional Manhattan cafe.
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."
