Jennifer Aniston Honors Matthew Perry One Year After His Death

Matthew Perry’s Mom Details Chilling Conversation Before Friends Alum’s Death

Jennifer Aniston is holding her memories of Matthew Perry tight.

On the first anniversary of her Friends costar’s death, Aniston shared some touching photos of herself and Perry together, simply writing, “1 year,” alongside a heart, band aid, and white dove emoji.

In the throwback images, the 55-year-old shared some sweet moments from the Friends set, including a shot of herself, Perry, and the rest of the core cast, including Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer huddled together for a sweet group hug.

Perry was found dead October 28, 2023, at the age of 54 in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home, with acute effects of ketamine later determined to be his primary cause of death. Five people have subsequently been charged in connection to his death, including California physician Dr. Mark Chavez, who pleaded guilty earlier this month to conspiring to distribute ketamine to Perry.

Meanwhile, Perry's mom Suzanne Morrison said she's "thrilled" that charges have been made in the case. (Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who provided the drugs to Perry, and Jasveen Sangha, the alleged drug dealer dubbed the "ketamine queen," each pleaded not guilty to charges including conspiracy to distribute ketamine, NBC News reported. Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and friend Erik Fleming, meanwhile, pleaded guilty to ketamine-related charges and await sentencing.)

The Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip alum’s family spoke out in rare interviews as the anniversary of Perry’s tragic death approached.  

Suzanne recalled one of her final conversations with her son, saying there was “an inevitability” in the way he spoke that concerned her at the time.

"He said, ‘I’m not frightened anymore,’” she recalled. “And it worried me."

The 17 Again actor's half-sister Caitlin Morrison also recently opened up about his death and how she chooses to remember him.

"He had this ability to fill up a room with light," the 43-year-old told Hello magazine in a story published Oct. 23. "When people were in a room with him, he had this magnetic energy. Everybody just had a smile on their face and they clung to everything he said."
