The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office “deferred” Matthew Perry’s cause of death, pending the final results of toxicology tests.
The 54-year-old “Friends” star drowned in a Jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home after playing pickleball for 2 hours on Saturday. An assistant found Perry unresponsive in the Jacuzzi.

Perry had a history of opioids and alcohol abuse. He was a recovering addict when he died. Perry once said he popped 55 pills a day.
Prescription bottles were found in the home but no illegal drugs were found, according to TMZ.

Very sad, my condolences to his family and friends! How many more will pass away from cardiac problems due to the Covid vaccine?
