LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The sudden death of Matthew Perry has reportedly left his near and dear ones struggling to accept the truth of his demise.

‘Matthew could have been saved’

Though he was addicted to drugs in the past, lately his life was believed to be on track.

Also, as per a leaked official document, the ‘Friends’ star’s death cause has been mentioned as “deferred,” without giving any hint about what could have resulted in his demise.

Now an insider has said, as reported by OK! Magazine, “The saddest thing of all is that people are saying Matthew could have been saved.”

‘He was extremely positive, sober, acting normal’

Reports have also claimed that Perry was doing fine before his death.

A day before the misfortune the ‘17 Again’ star went on a lunch with his pal Athenna Crosby, who reportedly shared, “I mean, I can’t know what exactly he was thinking or feeling.”

“I can only share my experience. And, of course, he was his own person that maybe he had said, done, or thought of things the day that he passed that I might never come to know,” she said.

Crosby added, “In the interaction that I had with him, he was extremely positive, sober, acting normal, spoke very well, did not give me any impression that he was under drugs or alcohol of any kind.”

Not just that, he even went to play pickleball hours before the tragedy.

“[His partner] said he had been fatigued [that day] and over the past week. A little more than usual. He played for one hour then went home,” the actor’s friend Billy Bush disclosed.

Matthew Perry ‘was deceased prior to first responder arrival’

Later after coming back from the game, Perry entered his hot tub only to be found unresponsive by his assistant at around four in the evening.

LAFD spokesperson Nicholas Prange reportedly revealed, “A bystander had brought [Matthew’s] head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then firefighters removed him from the water.”

Prange added, “A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival.”
