Matthew Perry’s death was one of the biggest tragedies of 2023. The former Friends star died in October from the impact of ketamine in his system, underlying coronary artery disease, and drowning. He was found in the jacuzzi of his California home. This passing shocked his family, friends, and fans. Now, sources are opening up about what the actor’s final days were like, and the revelations make Perry’s death even more heartbreaking than fans originally believed.
Before his death, Perry had been adamant about being sober for 19 months. After decades of addiction problems, the actor had written a memoir and revealed that he was dedicated to his sobriety. However, one source tells Us Weekly that Perry’s mental health wasn’t in a good state at the time of his death, as his friends allegedly believed he never got the proper treatment.
Matthew Perry’s Was Reportedly Lonely During His Last Days
“Everybody close to Matthew was saying he died from an overdose,” the source stated. “The way he dealt with that was to isolate. Since [Friends ended], he was set financially and didn’t have to work, so it created an environment to use.”
One source tells the outlet that Matthew Perry became emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive over the years. The informant alleges that the star became angry when confronted about his drug use during his darkest days. Reports of angry outbursts and physical altercations with friends were also recounted. “He was so warped in his addiction that he wasn’t himself and the man he should be,” one insider said of the actor.
According to OK! Magazine, Perry was also grieving the life that he could have had. He was allegedly upset over the fact that he had never been married or had any children. The star was said to be lonely in the final days of his life. Of course, the revelations make the actor’s death all the more heartbreaking.
