Matthew died unexpectedly last year in his home in Pacific Palisades, an upmarket  neighbourhood of LA.

His cause of death was found to have been a drowning caused by the 'acute effects of the drug ketamine' which caused him to lose consciousness in his hot tub. 

The actor struggled with alcohol and drug addiction throughout his life.

After a jet ski accident in 1997 caused back problems he became addicted to painkillers and recalled in his 2022 memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing that he was popping 55 pills a day.

He tried multiple times to get clean and was frequently in rehab but always returned to drugs. In 2018, his colon 'exploded' due to the abuse. He spent two weeks in a coma then had to wear a colostomy bag for months.

Perry estimated that he went to rehab 15 times, detoxed 65 times and attended 6,000 AA meetings in his decades-long struggle with drug addiction.

The actor was reportedly injected dozens of times with ketamine infusions in the lead up to his October 2023 death, with five people charged this month with supplying or administering the fatal drug to the Friends star.
