Unfortunately TMZ is reliable enough so that this is probably true.

The LA Times confirmed, this is terrible news.

The LA Times confirmed, this is terrible news.

So did CNN. It was this article my friend shared with me:

Very sad news!!!

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

Unfortunately, years and years of drug abuse and alcoholism take a toll on the body that doesn't entirely go away once you get clean. Sounds like it was a heart attack.

RIP.

WTF!!! I am tremendously caught off guard and saddened by this news. Such a tragic end after he appeared to have successfully overcome so many demons.

May he R.I.P.

 

[Matt Hough]

I was shocked and saddened to read this when I logged on this evening. The Variety obit had him quoted as saying that he estimated he spent $9 million over the years getting clean and sober. His friends and fans are surely going to miss him. R.I.P.

I'm not a fan of Matthew Perry. Just to be clear, I didn't dislike him -- I'm just not familiar with his work. I've never seen so much as a frame of Friends. But all the same, when I ran across this news in my feed tonight, it was still difficult to understand what I was reading for a moment. He was too young. It didn't make sense. It shouldn't make sense.

What a shame and great loss for those whose lives he touched. Rest In Peace.

Damn. He was younger than I am. The 1990s were really great for me and of course Friends was a part of that. I did not know the actor of course, but he represents that era for me and wow. Damn.

 

[Jeffrey D]

Sad. RIP. He played with Bruce Willis in the comedy The Whole Nine Yards- he more or less played Chandler in the film.

I also liked him on the late, lamented Aaron Sorkin SNL parody, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

 

[SamT]

Very sad. Chandler is my favorite character. Makes you think about what's success, fame and happiness in life.

 

[Sam Favate]

Sorry to hear this. He was very talented and far too young. I read today that in his book, he talks about starting drinking at age 14. That’s a recipe for disaster.

In addition to Friends, I also thought he was terrific in Studio 60, which is a show that I wish had been renewed.

 

[Kevin Hewell]

Damn. He was younger than I am. The 1990s were really great for me and of course Friends was a part of that. I did not know the actor of course, but he represents that era for me and wow. Damn.

Same here

RIP Matthew

 

[JamesSmith]

He was my favorite Friend. Strange, I feel that Chandler Bing died.

I wish it had been, as well. Unfortunately, there was a massive bidding war for it, so NBC was paying a bucket-load for it. Oddly enough, it was on during the same season as 30 Rock. Studio 60 had better ratings, but 30 Rock was a lot cheaper, so they went that way.

Now the only movie/TV Odd Couple stars still with us are Demond Wilson and Thomas Lennon. The original movie turned 55 this year.
