A lot of the stuff they are reporting on Perry makes it sound like he is lucky to have survived this long? Organ failure from opioid abuse?

My brother was a big fan of the show and I was living with him at the time, so I watched it too. You could see him get super skinny off and on during the shows run. I figured he was on and off of something bad. Never followed any Hollywood gossip, so I didn’t know for certain, but signs were there.

Him and Chris Farley were great in the movie Almost heroes. Very funny movie

And we will never know the truth...............
The first reply to this is interesting.

Nothing much more pathetic than drowning in a hot tub unless it would be choking to death on your own puke in bed.

That would be my guess, he's chased his last dragon.

It looks like he had some serious addiction challenges. Very unfortunate.

He was a good comedic actor, sure, "Friends" but "The Whole Nine Yards" and "Fools Rush In" were pretty good movies. "Studio 60" was an underrated show.

...but the number of people going on and on like they actually knew the guy is just weird.

BTW- I'll await some investigation (which will happen and will get out)....but generally, people don't just accidentally drown in their hot tubs without something causing them to....be less able to help themselves. Anyhoo, you gotta die from something.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a fantastic show. I wish they would have had more than 1 season.

He was also very good on the West Wing.

Rehab 14(?) times and detox 64 times. Has to end sometime.

Yeah, years of drug and alcohol abuse took a toll on his innards. I saw a report that he had multiple stomach surgeries and at one point in time he almost died because his colon burst. He was a mess internally.

If you recall Emily Miller of "Emily Gets a Gun" book fame, she apparently went out with him once. She outlines (most of*) the date here in a very tasteful, respectful way.

He sounded like a really down to earth guy. A bit out of touch due to his fame, but nice guy none the less.

Hot tubs are just dangerous. Once as a young man in Vegas I was naked with my woman in a hot tub and got hit with a waterjet right in the o-ring! I found out very quickly I was an "exit only" guy. Took me a few minutes to get the mood going again. Damn whisky made me do it !

Meh. She’s a professional journalist. It’s better than so many ads you can’t finish a story without closing and reopening.
