Could this BE any more of a drag.
RIP
👏👏👏👏
Yeah this one landed better

For those that don’t want to read that article that looks like it was written by a teenage intern -
THANK YOU! I read almost the whole thing before finally giving up, thinking “what the fuck is this site”!
*shite ftfy 😂
Dies from possible drowning.
TMZ: New details are surfacing about Matthew Perry’s death
I had this sinking feeling that they might come up with more information.
From the article, talking about the last show he did, after a 3-year run …
Perry tweeted he found out it was being cancelled when he arrived on set and discovered his face on the stage door had been painted over with green paint.
That’s cold that his agent didn’t tell him beforehand.
Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.
It was in a hot tub. My money is on drugs plus hot tub
It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.
Well, that confirms it. There’s no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!
I did not know what a lap pool was. This is a lap pool.
Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.
Oh wow neither did I.
For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!
A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I’ve lived in a house with a pool and it’s just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I’d love to have this.
Neither did I, thanks for sharing!
Looks hot tubby enough to me https://www.instagram.com/p/Cyuv2zDrL0r/
Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go
Strange, the article from la times said hot tub
Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.
Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.
Doesn’t really matter, does it? Not that most people, yours truly included, didn’t contemplate it. But the man’s dead, and that’s kinda it.
One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.
I’m pretty sure addiction doesn’t make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.
Still sad to hear he’s passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can’t fix everything it seems.
Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.
Yeah… It’s possibly not, but the overwhelming probability is drugs.
Addiction is a disease. I’m sad to see him go.
It was possibly a heart attack that caused him to drown, which wouldn’t be much of a shock considering his painkiller abuse, known to cause heart problems. No drugs or alcohol on site, but it’s not like his addictions didn’t leave a lasting impact.
Pain killer abuse is not known to cause heart problems. Where did you hear or read this?

What a stupid response. I don’t know your mom. How long did your mom abuse painkillers? What are the dosages and frequencies she took them at? Did she ever get clean and if so how long had she been abusing them and how long had she been clean? Was she a polysubstance abuser? Did your mom have any cardiac conditions of note? Did she take any medications? Familial history? You see what im getting at with how dumb your response was? I did get my heart checked out and I got my heart rate up to 138 and ran 15 minutes longer than I needed to and the cardiologist/lipidologist told me in his career of over 40 years I’m only the second time he’s ever seen someone’s heart not skip a single beat. I could still go the way of Matthew Perry/your mom. You never know. Pain killer abuse varies a fuck ton. So many other things come into play when we’re talking heart attacks.
Maybe he is not from the US, like me. Outside the US people don’t immediately think of opioids when someone says painkiller. They are not prescribed nearly as much. Maybe not at all where I am from.
You’ve gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub
Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you’re just really relaxed.
You have to be pretty fucked up to die of dehydration in a hot tub. I’d imagine dehydration makes you pretty fucking thirsty.
I guess I wouldn’t know because I have never been in a hot tub or dehydrated? I don’t have much in common with Perry beyond not remembering the 90s. I was too young, he was too high.
You’ve gotta be pretty fucked up to drown in a hot tub
If you’ve got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can’t go in them for that reason.
Little of column a, little of column b…
Can I just say I saw this on lemmy before anything. Nice job keeping up with the news!
back in the 90s I was in a very famous teeeeveeeee showww
The view from halfway down.
great episode. I honestly think of it often.
Shows was way too deep for a cartoon horse show lol, it’s seriously fantastic
We need more of that. Tuca&Bertie gets pretty raw too, take a bite.
Tuca&Bertie is awesome.
Initially Tuca’s energy was off putting for me, but she’s right, she’s an acquired taste.
And I can’t think of any other show, cartoon or live action or anything, that was anywhere close to what this horse cartoon was.
I think it was the most honest portrayal of mental illness in a show I’ve ever seen. not judgy about shit either and didn’t make it the only defining feature of a character. the writing was excellent.
Sometime you need surrealism to get you close to reality.
I think you can get away with more and be more honest when a talking horse is the star
Plus the whole, “why the long face…” and whatnot. Show is deep.
Is he who Bojack horseman paralleled? Or is it just a common trope.
I think it’s just a Hollywood cliche with enough truth it plays out in the real world here and there. a lot of the show was a commentary on LA culture and how it’ll swallow people.
there are a lot of parallels here but I’m sure it’s a coincidence, but it shows how right the series got it.
that show really hit me. I feel really bad for Matthew Perry, I didn’t know anything about his struggles until now and it’s really sad. the world really eats some people alive.
I always thought that it was David Duchovny, but I guess that it could be Matthew Perry, or a combination.
Doubt it’s Duchovny. Bojack was on a Full House style family sitcom, nothing like X Files or Red Shoe Diaries.
In that case you’re probably right, so he’s Bob Saget then?
Did Duchovny have a drinking/drug problem? I know he was a sex addict (which, in retrospect, makes Mulders porn addiction a lot funnier), but otherwise he seems like he has his shit together
Ugh
This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.
Really? I’m completely unsurprised he drowned in a hot tub. I figured that or overdose. He’s been a mess for a while.
Ring-a-ding-ding, baby, what a way to go.

You would if you could, spartacus. It’ll be a special someone who takes me out.
Ive got an angry mailman and a loose set of morals dont tempt me.
Yeah?! Well, I’m gonna go see what Caesar thinks!
Release the mailman.
What do you mean we’re out of mailmen?!
Fuck it release the mailwoman, worst case scenario she gives him death by snu-snu.
I can’t remember if you can kill him with confirmed bachelor, but I take all bets.
Really? Not Alan Rickman, Bob Saget, David Bowie, or Robin Williams?
Steve Irwin
Anthony Bourdain.
Robin Williams
This one still hurts.
Anthony Bourdain for me
Have you read kitchen confidential yet? I had bought the book years before he passed but never got around to read it. And then he died and I couldn’t bring myself to read it, until earlier this year. I am so absolutely glad I have that book, it’s like hanging out with him.
They were sad and deep losses to the industry. I still can’t bring myself to watch a a Robin Williams film.
But for whatever reason none of them had given me this sort of what feeling. That’s all.
they’re big names but this guy feels like your neighbor down the street
One could even say a friend
Kids probably 22 and doesn’t know those names
Tell me you are in your 30s, without telling me you are in your 30s
Robin Williams, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Bourdain, Chris Cornell…Amy Winehouse…
RIP too, but at least for me, any of them where so present.
Could they be any more in their 30s?
My back hurts but I can still bend my knees

RIP. My favorite actor from Friends.
Chandler was the best character by a landslide.
Phoebe was a close second. Chandler was the funniest character and actor.
Phoebe, Chandler, Joey. That’s the real dream team!

I reckon Joey >
ChandlerChanandler Bong > Phoebe > Ross >RachaelRacheum > GuntherWow, you hate Monica so much she doesn’t even appear in the list? I’d put Monica above Phoebe, personally. And Ross is by far the worst.
Early season Monica was alright, but flanderisation saw her go to diddly-shit
They all flanderised. From the bits of early series I’ve seen Joey was normal intelligence, Ross was more chill, Rachel wasn’t as vacuous.
Works sometimes.
He was the only one that was a truely funny person without a script.
RIP to one funny guy. I really never was into Friends, but my wife is a huge fan, and over the years, I’ve come to enjoy them as well.
Have you seen The Whole Nine Yards or The Whole Ten Yards? He stars in them, alongside Bruce Willis, Amanda Peet, and other notables. Very funny mafia-comedy set of movies.
He was also the lead in Fallout New Vegas, baby
Oh shit why did I just realize that now?
Got that free from Epic a little while ago. Guess it’s a good time to start it up for the first time.
Definitely! It’s a blast and a half.
There’s an exe patch on Nexus that let you use mods for that version. I have it too and it’s great fun modded.

I don’t know either of those. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks!
Yes! Really funny movies!
Shit. This sucks. RIP, Benny from New Vegas
Drag. He seemed to be quite the tortured soul. Thanks for the entertainment, bud. Godspeed.
Rest in peace my favorite fallout voice actor
Wait, who did he do?
Benny from NV.
I didn’t know that!
So no one told you life was gonna be this way…
RIP.
“if I did die it would shock people, but it wouldn’t surprise anybody.”
- Mathew Perry, 2022
Sadly, very true.
He was a troubled man at points in his life, and that takes a toll.
There’s a part of me that’s kind of happy for an addict when they pass away.
The sad thing is having to live with addiction in a country where it’s stigmatized.
👏👏👏👏
Your lifes a joke.
You’re broke.
Your love life’s DOA
The soft serve’s on its wayyyy

Damn I thought he was entering his personal renaissance. That’s awful.
Wow, the end of a true era now that one of them is gone. :(
Could this be any more sad? :(
Oh absolutely.
