Matthew Perry, 54, tragically drowned in his hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Emergency services were called after he suffered a cardiac arrest, but arrived to find him lifeless.

Friends star Matthew Perry, 54, has been tragically found dead after 'drowning in his hot tub'. The much-loved actor was discovered unconscious in his Los Angeles home.
In a chilling last post on his Instagram, shared earlier this week, the star shared images of him in his hot tub, saying: 'Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman.' He told People: "The doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that's called a Hail Mary. No one survives that."
"It's such tragic news. Everyone is praying he didn't relapse. Matt was a genuinely lovely guy. He was always the first to welcome newcomers to the group and would always volunteer to help and be of service. We are all struggling to come to terms with this terrible news." He also mentioned how his appearance on the series made it hard for him to watch. "I was taking 55 Vicodin a day, I weighed 128 lbs, I was on Friends getting watched by 30 million people - and that's why I can't watch the show, 'cause I was brutally thin'," he revealed.
The show ended in 2004 after a decade, which saw the group of friends bid farewell to the audience and each other.
