Matthew Perry

Did something go down between David Scwimmer and Matthew at the reunion? I see David getting slated online

Or more likely, he had a stash of ketamine acquired from non official avenues and used it at home.

Maybe I was confusing in my wording, what I meant was not that he didn't die of ketamine but that the last infusion he had (if it's true that it happened a week and half prior) couldn't be the specific thing that killed him.

Naproxen is nasty, I had it for costochondritis and even with omeprazole I only lasted a couple of weeks on it.

I don’t want to derail but have chronic pain and considering naproxen, in what way is it nasty? Do you mean ref stomach damage?

I always thought Matt & Matthew and Jen & Courtney were the only friend groups outside of the show. Wasn't Mathew planning to appear in the Joey spin off before it got binned?

 

[RaveChampion]

Maybe he was the Batman?

Robins going to have to step up now to keep public disorder in the city down IMO.

I haven't read the book but agree that there is a reason he's alone - and that reason is him! Lizzy Caplan had a lucky escape.

Was that PSH? If I recall correctly he died from acute mixed drug intoxication which makes it hard to connect to a specific drug. He had cocaine, benzos, and heroin in his system.

I know that Michael K. Williams' dealer was successfully prosecuted in NYC.

Yep, the dealer who gave him the gear was a musician who worked with Amy Winehouse and others. They arrested him after an informant said he saw Phillip there buying the stuff and they worked out from the timeline that it was likely that was the heroin that was in his system when he died but couldn't verify 100% he got it from the dealer. That on top of there being other stuff found as you say meant all they could get him on was felony possession and intent to sell.

Hoffman’s ‘dealer’ wants rehab over prison

Matthew's family have started the Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada in Ottawa.

The Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada says it will support individuals in their first year of recovery from substance use disorders following treatment, through things like housing support, access to mental health care, peer support, training and placement services and access to healthy food. It will also fund research into addiction treatments.

Here is Matthew's stepdad in an interview yesterday.

I could listen to Keith all day, what a lovely voice.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening about his early life. Supporting people in their first pivotal year of recovery is such a niche need but SO important and I'm glad this has come from Matthew, especially as he said when he was alive that he really wanted to help

Yes it's very harsh on your stomach unless you take with a good amount of food in your system and the omeprazole regularly.

He made his will in 2009 and left it to his parents and siblings and one ex. Actually he left it to a trust, but the beneficiaries are bound to be his parents and siblings. In actual assets he didn't have much, because all was bound in trusts and companies.

He had about two long term relationships, Lizzy Caplan and Rachel Dunn (the one ex who was in his will, they were together 2003 - 2005).

So, from what I can see, he is the only child of his parents who are still alive. The siblings are step-siblings. His parents are a good-looking couple for sure. I didn’t read that about him making a will in 2009 but if he left it to a trust I don’t think the beneficiary of a trust is released under Californian law. It could be a charity instead of family perhaps..

Surely though if he was going to take his own life and his book as a farewell he would have done it before now?
I am sure I read the police said they didn’t suspect foul play. I hope not anyway, he seemed really troubled and I wouldn’t like to think that was how he chose his ending.

TMZ said foul play wasn't suspected but as usual they were smart arses about it, making a big deal of saying...not at this point before adding that the LAPD Robbery Homicide Dept were now investigating only to then turn around and say it wasn't actually a big deal and is quite common when it is a death of someone considered high profile and they will wait until the tox report comes back before deciding whether to investigate further.

Maybe the assistant would have been sacked if they didn’t and has rent to pay and mouths to feed.

 

[LouBug19]

My boyfriend woke me up the other morning to tell me. I only started watching friends properly some years ago and it just shows the happiest person is the one struggling. It says on the mirror that he sent his assistant out on a errand and when she came back he was underwater. She managed to pull him up but it was too late.

They've released a joint statement.

“In time we will say more”? A slightly odd thing to say

 

[poppyseed1]

Thank you !!Wohoo

 

[poppyseed1]

He was a bit sleazy though no denying that , from what he wrote in his own book to texting teens so the DM are just doing the usual thing when a celebrity dies

 

[georgiecait]

Gosh I hate those retrospective lines that came true.
I think I’ll end up watching soon

 

[Miss.Chanandler.Bong]

Is there any Friends thread ? I’d love to talk about the show and favourite episodes etc

Here you go

Friends

I think they have gone for the photos they have done in their tributes because they were happier, simpler times, and a lot of them were taken before Matt's addiction to pills and alcohol became so well-known amongst them all. Old school photos right back to when they all first met. Whenever my...

She does right. She could have put up with his behaviour for the fame she gets from being with him and the life she would live with his money. But she's rightly put herself first.

I read $55000 spent on ket!

Crazy!!
