The Hollywood star after an apparent drowning. Law enforcement sources confirmed to FOX News that Perry was found dead on Saturday, October 28, in what appeared to be a drowning at a home in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles.
TMZ reports that the emergency personnel first responded to a call reporting cardiac arrest at the house.
No dru*gs were found on the scene, and no foul play is suspected, per the outlet.
Perry was 54 years old.
Perry's 10 seasons on Friends made him one of Hollywood's most recognisable actors, starring opposite Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer as a friend group in New York.
As Chandler, he played the quick-witted, insecure and neurotic roommate of LeBlanc's Joey and a close friend of Schwimmer's Ross. By the series' end, Chandler is married to Cox's Monica and they have a family, reflecting the journey of the core cast from single New Yorkers to married and starting families.
The series was one of television’s biggest hits and has taken on a new life and found surprising popularity with younger fans in recent years on streaming services.
