Actor Matthew Perry's body was reportedly found in a hot tub at his home,
prompting suspicion of drowning. However, a new report reveals that when
first responders arrived, his body was not waterlogged, casting doubt on the
cause of death.

Perry was alone at home after playing a 2-hour game of pickleball, during
which he sent his assistant on an errand. On getting back, they found Perry
unresponsive and proceeded to call 911.

At the death scene, no hard drugs were found around Perry, only prescription
pills. His official cause of death is still being investigated.

According to law enforcement sources, Matthew Perry's body, which was

reportedly found in his hot tub from a suspected drowning, hadn't been in the
water for an extended period.

The source revealed to TMZ that when first responders arrived at Perry's
Pacific Palisades residence, his body was not waterlogged, casting suspicions
on his cause of death.

At the time of his death, the "Friends" star was alone at home after allegedly
playing pickleball earlier in the day at Riviera Country Club. On getting home,
he sent his assistant on an errand, but when the assistant returned, they
found Perry unresponsive in the jacuzzi, leading to a frantic 911 call.

It is unconfirmed whether the caller was Perry's personal assistant and close
friend Briana Brancato, who the actor mentioned in his memoir, "Friends,
Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," last year.

Within his deeply personal memoir, published in October 2022, Perry openly
shared his feelings of loneliness and his deep desire for children.

However, he opened up about a significant, years-long connection with

Brancato, whom he fondly referred to under the pseudonym "Erin" – though
never naming her.

According to the Daily Mail, he revealed that she was his "best friend" and
"saved his life," particularly during his recovery from a life-threatening colon
issue. However, the "Boys Will Be Boys" star emphasized that their "bond was
never sexual."

Perry went on to shed light on his connection with "Erin," whom he initially
met while attending a rehab clinic several years ago.

He detailed the time they spent together in a sober living house in Southern
California, sharing, "I had a view of West LA and two queen-size beds. The
other bed was occupied by Erin."

He continued: "I'd met her two years earlier, at another rehab where she had
been working at the time. I didn't get sober back then, but I saw how
wonderful she was in every way and promptly stole her from that sober living
rehab and made her my assistant, and she became my best friend."

Perry expressed his gratitude for Erin's unwavering support in his journey to
sobriety, particularly when she quit smoking alongside him.

He concluded his memoir with heartfelt words of appreciation for his "best
friend," writing: "She's always there when I need her,' he wrote. 'Erin, Erin, Erin
… She saved my life at the rehab when my insides exploded, and she saves it
every day still. Who knows what I'd do without her; I intend to never find out."

He added, "I can tell she's itching for a cigarette, but she doesn't break the
habit. Find a friend who'll quit something with you—you'll be amazed what
that does for a friendship."
