DD1 text earlier to tell me Matthew Perry has died at 54.
She’d just finished his autobiography which I was going to borrow.
I’m sure a lot of us watched Friends, back in the day. RIP

Very sad. He seemed such a lovely man. I know he had his problems and was very open about it. He was great in Friends. RIP Matthew.

I know, old thread.

This morning in NYT, several people have been charged by USA DOJ for wrong drug dealings during Matthew Perry's last days.

Apparently he'd not overcome his addiction.

It was obvious to pretty much anyone with eyes that that was the case. I feel no sympathy for those charged, except his assistant, that makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Similar to Michael Jackson, very famous, very rich people are used to getting people to do what they want. I dont know, it's all tragic of course.

Of course it’s all tragic. Addiction is awful and often the root causes are complex and have been in dealt with or unable to unravel
