Initial reports were that Matthew Perry died of drowning in his jacuzzi, an autopsy conducted has revealed that his cause of death was “deferred” pending toxicology.
The revelations mean that, at the moment, it will be difficult to determine what exactly caused Perry’s death until the coroner gets his blood tested.
As we previously reported, before his death, Perry was involved in a 2-hour game of pickleball. During this period, he sent his assistant on a mission. Upon returning home, the assistant found the actor unresponsive and immediately called 911.
First responders allegedly found various prescription drugs instead of illegal drugs at Matthew Perry’s residence. But no hard medicine.
Among the drugs found were antidepressants, anti-anxiety drugs, and COPD drugs, which are typically prescribed for individuals with chronic respiratory problems such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, conditions potentially linked to Perry’s history as a smoker.

Prior to his death, Perry was a smoker and had battled substance abuse. In his memoirs, “Friends, Lovers And Big Awful Things,” star of “Fools Rush In” opened up about his struggles, writing: “Hi, my name is Matthew, although you may know me by another name. My friends call me Matty. And I should die.”
He continued: “People would be surprised to know that I’ve been mostly sober since 2001. Save for about sixty or seventy minor accidents over the years.”
In chat with Daily Maila friends in recovery with Perry expressed his positive outlook.
They said, “It’s no secret that he’s struggled with drugs and alcohol for years but the last time I spoke to him, which was in the last few weeks, he seemed to be in a good place. He is upbeat and sounds calm and positive.”
“He’s been in rehab 17 times and almost died from opioid abuse but he’s a sincere person taking his life, and his sobriety, one day at a time,” the friend continued. “It’s such tragic news. Everyone prays he doesn’t relapse. Matt is a really nice guy. He was always the first to welcome newcomers to the group and always volunteered to help and serve.”

Perry recalled in her memoir how “Friends” director James Edward Burrows sent the cast on a big trip to Vegas, telling them their lives would change forever after the premiere. The director gave six up-and-coming actors at the time $100 each and told them to have fun.
Perry shared, per Insider“We six new friends got drunk and gambled and wandered around the casino, just six close strangers on a weekend trip, unknown to anyone, no one asking for autographs or pictures, none of us being chased by paparazzi, a million miles from what is to come, which is every moment of our lives documented in public for all to see forever.”
The actor, in an interview, admitted that his co-stars were all worried about his struggles with alcohol and that Aniston had even confronted him about his drinking.
Since his unfortunate passing, tributes have poured in for the late star.
