Friends star Matthew Perry was found dead Saturday in his Pacific Palisades home. Law enforcement reported that upon arrival, they found the actor’s unresponsive body in the hot tub.
He was 54.
Authorities provided new details regarding the tragedy that shook the entire world and the millions of fans Perry made laugh through his iconic role of Chandler Bing, but it will take time until the exact cause of death is revealed.
As per the officials, they received a medical call from Perry’s home overlooking the Pacific Ocean at around 4 p.m. Saturday reporting that the actor was in a hot tub and not breathing. So far, the identity of the caller hasn’t been revealed.
“An adult male patient was deceased prior to first response arrival,” the LAFD said in a statement. “The patient was found by a bystander who had re-positioned the victim where the head was out of water” in a freestanding hot tub.
“Firefighters pulled the victim out of the jacuzzi and did a quick medical assessment to find he was deceased,” the statement read.
The ongoing investigation which is to determine the cause of death will likely take months to finish. Reports are that no drugs of any kind were found at the scene, but The Los Angeles County coroner’s office will include toxicology tests.
As per reports, the medical examiner has completed an autopsy, but a cause of death was “deferred.”
The “cause of death may not be known for some time, but at this point foul play is not suspected,” said LAPD Capt. Scot Williams, who leads the Robbery Homicide Division and is inspecting Perry’s tragic passing.
Though it has been revealed that the late actor was found dead in the hot tub, no determination has been made as to whether he drowned.
Rest in peace, Matthew Perry.

Being a parent is one of the most wonderful things a person can ever experience. Most new moms and dads are so happy with their bundles of joy that they tend to share that happiness with the rest of the world by posting a bunch of photos of their little ones on social media.
Ashley and J.P. Rosenbaum, the couple who met on the reality show The Bachelorette, are no exception. During that season, Ashley was the bachelorette and she chose to accept J.P.’s marriage proposal. The two married on the show.
When their second child was born, they were eager to post photos of baby Essex on Instagram. Being sort of celebrities, they have plenty of followers and get a number of comments on their posts. Sometimes, those comments are positive, and sometimes, not that much, but one particular comment under one of Essex’s photos affected their life.
Speaking to People, Ashley explained that the comment, which came from a complete stranger, caught her eye. At first, she didn’t pay much attention, but she somehow couldn’t get her mind off the words she read so she decided to look into it.
“Our daughter, when she was born, I was posting pictures of her and somebody wrote me a message saying, ‘Hey, get her checked out’ because she was always twisted, she had torticollis. Someone said, ‘Get it checked out because my son had the same thing.’”
After getting the girl checked out, Ashley was shocked to learn that the stranger who took the time to comment on her photo was right. Essex was diagnosed with torticollis, a condition involving the muscles of the neck that causes the head to tilt down. Although the exact cause is not known, it is believed that this condition is caused by a neck muscle injury at birth. The good thing is that it is treatable if caught early, and thanks to that comment, Essex was diagnosed just in time to get the right treatment.
Through his iconic role of Chandler Bing, late actor Matthew Perry brought joy to millions of people worldwide. Sadly, although he made many laugh, he wasn’t able to help himself in his years-long struggle with addiction.
In his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, which he released last year, Perry spoke openly about his fight with addiction. Among the rest, he also revealed certain truth about co-star Jennifer Aniston.
Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub in his LA home at the weekend. The exact reason of his death is yet to be investigated.
Born in 1969 to a Canadian mother and American father, the actor made his film debut in the 1988 film A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon, which also stars the late River Phoenix.
Other shows he appeared in are Growing Pains, Sydney with Valerie Bertinelli and Beverly Hills, 90210.
He had his breakthrough role as the sharp-tongued Chandler Bing in Friends. He played the role for ten years, from 1994 to 2004.

Throughout his career, which spanned decades, Perry had starring roles in the 1997 romcom Fools Rush In with Salma Hayek, and in 2000 and 2004 he played alongside Bruce Willis in The Whole Nine Yards and its sequel, The Whole Ten Yards.
When he was cast in Friends, one of the most popular shows ever created, Perry rose to stardom. But at the same time, he started abusing alcohol.
“I could handle it, kind of. But by the time I was 34, I was really entrenched in a lot of trouble,” Perry confessed. “But there were years that I was sober during that time. Season 9 was the year that I was sober the whole way through. And guess which season I got nominated for best actor? I was like, ‘That should tell me something.’”

Back in 2018, he suffered a health scare when he was hospitalized for a gastrointestinal perforation and was in coma for two weeks and spent five months in the hospital.
“The doctors told my family that I had a two per cent chance to live,” Perry shared with People. “I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”
Perry confessed many times that the rest of the cast of Friends were aware of his addiction, and they were there for him because they were very close not only on-screen but in real life too.

They were very understanding and patient. “It’s like penguins. Penguins, in nature, when one is sick, or when one is very injured, the other penguins surround it and prop it up. They walk around it until that penguin can walk on its own. That’s kind of what the cast did for me,” Perry said.
However, it was Jennifer Aniston who stood by his side through thick and thin. She was the one who stayed in close contact with him during his ups and downs.

“She was the one that reached out the most,” he said in an October 2022 interview with Diane Sawyer. “You know, I’m really grateful to her for that.”
Aniston was at the same time the first one to confront him about his drinking problems.
“Jennifer, she says, ‘We know you’re drinking,’” Sawyer said, referring to a revelation made in Perry’s book.
“Yeah, imagine how scary a moment that was,” Perry responded.

Following Perry’s tragic passing, fans left flowers outside the Friends apartment facade in West Village, Manhattan.
The actor’s family released a statement and said they were “heartbroken by the loss.”
“Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love,” their statement said.
Fans, colleagues, producers, and other celebrities paid tribute to the late actor.
Rest in Peace, Matthew Perry.

Even the thought of being diagnosed with cancer give people chills. However, what many aren’t aware of is that cancer isn’t number one reason for the number of deaths in the States and many other countries.
In fact, it is heart disease that has been the leading cause of death in the United States since 1950.
Risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, overweight and obesity, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use.
Diagnosing heart issues isn’t always easy. Doctors may be able to see plaque or calcification of the arteries, but in most cases they cannot.
Coronary heart disease (CHD), the most common issue people face, is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits (atheroma) on the walls of the arteries around the heart (coronary arteries).
The build-up of these atheroma makes the arteries narrower, restricting the flow of blood to the heart muscle. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Issues with the heart are many times caused by the consumption of certain foods, so this is the list of what you should avoid and what you should include in your diet.
Processed Sugar can raise blood pressure as well as create inflammation in the body which as a result makes the heart work harder. Sugar is best to be consumed in the form of fruits and natural carbohydrates. Avoid packaged and processed sugary foods or drinks whenever you can.
Processed Salt contains sodium, a mineral that plays a role in the healthy function of nerves and muscles and helps keep your body’s fluid levels in proper balance. However, too much sodium can cause fluid retention, which can increase blood pressure, and high blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
Too much Calcium can trigger the body to store this mineral in a wrong way and unhealthy places. Unhealthy calcium storage appears in the form of bone spurs, arthritis, and worse, having calcium and plaque build up in your arteries. This can cause the heart to pump harder.
Lack of movement. Movement is critical for heart health and heart rate. To move continuously is an important thing. Walks are one of the best things you can do for heart health.
Low Nitric Oxide Levels – Healthy levels of nitric oxide support the micro-circulation in the body which helps blood flow better and for it to get to the difficult to reach places in the body. When the blood transports better the nutrients within the blood get to where they need to also.
Levels of nitric oxide can be elevated through foods such as leafy greens, pomegranate, cacao (chocolate), beets, garlic, citrus fruits and watermelon.

Abigail Lee is a two-year-old girl who looks way younger, and the reason for that is that she suffers from a specific form of dwarfism.
When she was born, Abigail was diagnosed with Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II, which according to the National Library of Medicine is the most common form of microcephalic primordial dwarfism characterized by extreme short stature and microcephaly along with distinctive facial features.
Sadly, this condition is usually accompanied by other health issues, including abnormal dentition, a slender bone skeletal dysplasia with hip deformity and/or scoliosis, insulin resistance / diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, cardiac malformations, and global vascular disease.
However, despite her condition, Abigail hasn’t been diagnosed with any of the conditions listed above. What’s most, she seems to be super healthy so far.
She weights only 9 pounds and her parents sometimes take her outside using a doll stroller, because that’s how big Abi is.
This beauty brings joy to her parents and family. She always smiles, and loves being around people.
We truly hope that she would do even better in the years to come and she would be able to do everything other kids her age do, like attending school and having fun with friends.

When baby Tessa from Ireland was born, she caught the attention of many. Namely, this sweet baby was born without a nose.
The anomaly was detected while Tessa’s mom was pregnant and the couple was advised to terminate the pregnancy, but neither her mom nor her dad wanted to do something like that. Since the baby was developing inside the womb, they believed there was a chance that she could have a normal life after she was born too.
Tessa’s parents were more than willing to take care of a special child.
Today, Tessa is four years old.
Over the course of the years, she has undergone plenty of surgeries that were meant to help her live a normal life, as much as that is possible.
Sadly, having no nose isn’t the only difficulty this girl faces. She’s also deaf, and recently, she went blind on one of her eyes as a result of a surgery she had undergone.
However, despite all these challenges, Tessa is a happy child. She loves her life and is happy to have such caring parents and siblings who love her endlessly.
Her mom hopes that over time, doctors would be able to ease her life even further.
Tessa, we wish you only the best life brings.

We never know what happens behind closed doors. There are families that appear happy on the social media, but the hell some of the members are going through is unimaginable.
A woman named Judy Sharp, a victim of domestic violence, is sharing her life story which she wants to serve as a reminder that there is always a way out, you just need to fight hard and remember that you are not alone.
The moment Judy got married to her husband Mike, she knew her life would never be the same.
He was a very jealous man who wouldn’t let her step foot outside of the house. He was controlling and she was desperately unhappy. In order to be sure she wouldn’t leave the house even for a second, he would leave her penniless and would place tapes over the front and back door of the house that he would later check.
When Judy fell pregnant with the couple’s first child, she had hopes that her life would change for the better, but sadly, things only got worse and the abuse she suffered intensified even further.
Not only he insulted her as a woman, but he called her a bad mother.
One day, as she was sitting on the sofa with her two boys, Mike started insulting her. He then took the camera, took a photo of her and their sons, and told her it was the last day she was alive. The photo would serve as a memory of her for the boys.
The haunting photograph
Judy panicked and knew she needed to stand for her and her sons.
She started looking for a shelter that would accept her and the boys, but since one of them had autism, they wouldn’t. The only option left was to rent a home, and that’s exactly what she did.
Judy found a place to stay and was able to pay rent for some time thanks to the money she managed to withdraw from the joint bank account.

Once away from home, she felt relieved.
Mike was looking for them but was unable to track them down. Eventually, he quit.
Today, Judy’s sons are all grown up. Sam is now 30 and a swim coach who trialled for the Olympics and Tim, 32, is a successful artist. She’s proud of them, and she’s happy to gather the courage to leave from an abusive marriage years ago.
Judy wants to send the message that domestic violence should never be endured, by no person, ever!
