Matthew Perry Death Certificate Sheds Light on Circumstances

The Epoch Times Header

The actor, 54, was found dead at his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28.

The official death certificate of “Friends” star Matthew Perry has been released, shedding some light on the circumstances almost two weeks after his death.

Mr. Perry, 54, died on Oct. 28, and his death certificate, obtained by media outlets, discloses that he passed away at 4:17 p.m. at his Pacific Palisades home near Los Angeles.

He gained worldwide fame for playing the wise-cracking Chandler Bing on the hugely popular 1990s sitcom “Friends.”

The document, listing Mr. Perry’s occupation as an “actor” in the entertainment industry for 38 years, reveals that his stepfather and “Dateline” correspondent Keith Morrison, 76, served as the “informant” providing personal information.

The actor’s family and former “Friends” co-stars laid him to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles in a private ceremony on Nov. 3.

The Hollywood Hills cemetery is situated near the Warner Bros. studio lot where the popular sitcom was filmed.

In late October, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office listed Mr. Perry’s cause of death as “deferred.” Toxicology reports are still pending and could take weeks to determine the exact cause.

The actor was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his residence in the affluent Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. A short recording of the moment first responders were sent to the scene was obtained by TMZ and referenced an apparent drowning.

An autopsy was undertaken, but the results are still pending. An autopsy is usually completed within a day or two after a person’s death, but the final results of a toxicology report can take weeks to come through.

Preliminary toxicology tests indicated the absence of meth or fentanyl in Mr. Perry’s system at the time of his death, and investigators did not find any illegal drugs at his residence. Further testing is underway to ascertain if the actor had any prescription medication in his system.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division is handling the investigation into Mr. Perry’s death.
