Perry's battle with addiction and untimely death
Actor's journey

Perry, who played Chandler Bing on F.R.I.E.N.D.S from 1994 to 2004, struggled with alcohol and drug addiction for much of his life.

He was found dead in a hot tub at his Hollywood home in 2023. The medical examiner ruled that acute effects of the anesthetic ketamine were the primary cause of death.

Perry credited the success of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and support from his co-stars for helping him cope with addiction in his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
