Hey, everyone. I'm sure you've all heard the sad news about the passing of our beloved 'Friends' star. It's been a tough time for all of us who grew up watching his hilarious antics on the show. Well, I have some new information to share with you that might shed some light on what happened to him.

The late 'Friends' star's autopsy report from the L.A. County Medical Examiner and learned the actor was "reportedly clean for 19 months." That means he had been sober for over a year and a half before his death, which is a remarkable achievement considering his long history of substance abuse.

There were reports that the Actor had history of Diabetes and emphysema. He was also on ketamine infusion therapy, which is used to help with anxiety and depression with most recent therapy reportedly occurring 1.5 weeks before his death.
However, the medical examiner stated that the ketamine in his system could not be from the infusion therapy because the drug doesn't last that long in the body. Perrys ketamine levels within the range of anesthesia that doctors administer and monitored surgical procedures for the autopsy.

Quote, at the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens. The main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.

Drowning contributes to the likelihood of submersion into the pool as he lapsed into unconsciousness in October, authorities detailed their emergency response to Matthews home on October 28th with Captain Eric Scott from the LA fire department in a statement that responders found an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub, adding a rapid medical assessment , sadly revealed that he was deceased prior to first responder arrival throughout his life, the actor battled alcohol and drug addiction, detailing his struggles and his memoir, Friends, lovers and the big terrible thing released November of 2022 in November of that same year during an interview with radio show cue with Tom Power Matthew reflected on his legacy, expressing that he didn't just want to be remembered for his role of Chandler on friends, but for helping other people overcome their personal struggles.

The best thing about me barn one is if somebody comes up to me and says, I can't stop drinking, can you help me? I can say yes, the follow up and do it. Thats the best thing.
And I've said this for a long time when I die, I don't want friends to be the first thing that's mentioned. I want that to be the first thing that's mentioned and I'm going to live the rest of my life proving that.

This is both heartbreaking and surprising, because we all know how much he struggled with addiction throughout his career. He had been to rehab several times and had openly talked about his issues with drugs and alcohol. He even joked about it on his Instagram account, where he posted funny and candid photos of himself and his 'Friends' co-stars.

But it seems that he had finally turned his life around and was on the path to recovery. He had been working on new projects and was looking forward to reuniting with his 'Friends' and castmates for a special episode. He seemed happy and healthy in his recent interviews and appearances.

So, what went wrong? How did he end up having a fatal heart attack at the age of 54? Well, according to some experts, his past drug use may have damaged his heart and increased his risk of cardiovascular problems. Even though he was clean for 19 months, the effects of the years of substance abuse may have caught up with him and weakened his heart.

This is a tragic reminder that addiction is a serious and chronic disease that can have lasting consequences on one's health. It also shows that recovery is not easy and requires constant vigilance and support. We can only hope that he is at peace now and that his legacy will live on through his work and his fans.

We will always love you, 'Friends' star. You were our friend too.
