‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry dies

Matthew Perry, known for his role in the TV show ‘Friends’, was discovered deceased in a hot tub at
his Los Angeles residence on Saturday, according to sources in law enforcement.

Responding to a call at around 4:00pm, authorities found him unresponsive.

The sources, who spoke anonymously due to the ongoing investigation, did not specify the cause of death, though there were no indications of foul play.

A representative for Perry did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s robbery-homicide detectives are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding his death.

The exact cause of death will be determined later by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

Born in 1969 to actor John Bennett Perry and Suzanne Marie Langford, a former press secretary to Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, Perry spent his early years growing up between Montreal and Los Angeles after his parents separated when he was just one year old.
