[Highland Deac]

Matthew Perry, Chandler on Friends, is found dead at 54 in his home. According to early reports he apparently drowned in his jacuzzi. He had severe drug and alcohol issues for decades, but claimed in his bestselling tell-all memoir last year that he was now clean and sober.

I mean people don’t drown in jacuzzis unless they are fucked up

RIP Chandler

First celebrity death to actually hit me.

Surprised he made it this long - RIP Chandler and condolences to Geller family.

RIP Chandler

Have to think he was still struggling with addiction issues. So sad.

Wow...this really hit me.

ALWAYS loved Matthew and Chandler/FRIENDS.

He just had an amazing comedic talent and had the perfect sarcastic delivery.

54 is too too too too young!

So terrible.

RIP Matthew

"What kind of scary-ass clowns came to your birthday parties?!?!"

There's actually an interesting discussion on Imgur surrounding the memes of his death. Half the crowd is saying it's insensitive and too soon, the other that true comedians would appreciate humor, even in death. I think I fall into the latter.

Some imaginative folks out there.

But he wasn’t a comedian. He was an actor

Death just shows the ultimate absurdity of life.

Admittedly, I was never into Friends and didn't follow his career closely.

Horseshoe theory in effect,

Tbh I’m a lot sadder about losing Bull from Night Court last night.

Deaths come in threes. Who's the third?

Man I know it takes all kinds but if someone dies and your first impulse is to make a funny meme about it then I think the internet has broken your brain a little bit.

He starred in one of the most beloved TV shows ever, but was locked in a battle with addiction.

Sad to hear. He was always the funniest one on Friends. I enjoyed the show back when it was originally on, but I don't think it holds up today. Its humor isn't timeless like Seinfeld.
