From TMZ:
Matthew Perry — one of the stars of ‘Friends’ — has died … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell us the actor was found Saturday at an L.A.-area home … where we’re told he appears to have drowned. Our sources say first-responders rushed over on a call for cardiac arrest. It’s unclear where exactly on the grounds this happened.
Our sources say he was found in a jacuzzi at the home … and we’re told there were no drugs found at the scene. We’re also told there is no foul play involved.
Perry is most famous for his role as Chandler Bing on the hit ’90s sitcom, which ran for 10 seasons … and with him in all 234 episodes. His character was a fan fave, as was performance — mannerisms and lines of which have gone on to be recreated and spoofed by fans all over the world. One comes to mind, in particular … “Could (blank) BE more ..”
Perry proudly marketed and sold t-shirts that read, “Could I BE Any More Vaccinated”, encouraging his seven million followers to get vaccinated.
For those who may not be familiar with the show Friends, Matthew Perry’s character, Chandler, had a recurring catchphrase where he would say, “Could I BE any more…?”
Per Matthew Perry’s Instagram, all proceeds from the pro-vaccine merchandise were donated to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Perry wrote, “What is this, a limited edition t-shirt for charity? For two weeks only, I’m releasing an apparel collection! Proceeds will support the World Health Organization’s COVID 19 relief efforts.”

Matthew Perry has died at age 54. The call was for a suspected cardiac arrest. While anything is possible, many will point out that Matthew was a big supporter of the COVID vaccines and even sold shirts saying "Could I BE Any More Vaccinated?" so I think it’s fair to ask that it… pic.twitter.com/crBn1UAmec
