The award-winning actor was found dead at his home on October 28, 2023. The cause of death is apparently drowning. Law enforcement states there were no signs of foul play or drug paraphernalia.
We obviously remember Matthew Perry for is role in Friends as Chandler Bing, but there was so much more to this man. He was a writer, producer, and all-around amazing human being. Matthew knew that if he dies that he would always be remembered as Chandler from friends. However, he really hoped that people would not remember him for that, but rather the help that he has provided to those in need. Here is the interview where he gave this statement.
"When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web... but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.
I know it won't happen, but it would be nice."
- Matthew Langford Perry (August 19, 1969 - October 28, 2023)
