Matthew Perry's death certificate has been released and it has revealed some findings regarding his passing.
As previously reported, Perry sadly passed away in late October after first responders found him in the hot tub in his home in Los Angeles.
Perry's family, devastated by his untimely death in late October, expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support from fans across the globe.
In a statement to People, they shared their heartbreak: "We are heartbroken by the tragic loss of our beloved son and brother. Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend. You all meant so much to him, and we appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love."
Fans paid their respects outside the iconic New York City apartment building featured in Friends, leaving heartfelt tributes to the actor.
Bouquets and handwritten notes adorned the exterior, creating a poignant display in honor of the beloved star.
His official death certificate has since been obtained by The Blast, revealing that the official cause of death is pending toxicology reports, a process that may take several weeks.
The document indicates Perry's industry as "Entertainment" and lists his stepfather, Keith Morrison, as the "informant" who provided information for the death certificate.
While the exact cause of Perry's death remains unconfirmed, initial toxicology reports indicate the absence of meth or fentanyl in his system at the time of the incident. Further testing is underway to determine if any prescription medication played a role.
Upon responding to Perry's residence, investigators found no illegal drugs but discovered properly labeled prescription medication stored in bottles. Perry had been candid about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, revealing in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, his reliance on opiates following a health crisis in 2018, per the Daily Mail.
Despite his past challenges, those close to Perry assert that he was clean and sober at the time of his passing. The death certificate also notes that Perry was "never married," a detail reflecting his struggles with loneliness and his desire for children, as revealed in his memoir.
Last week, an intimate funeral was held at Forest Lawn Cemetery, with Perry's loved ones bidding their final farewells.
The ceremony, reported by TMZ, saw Perry's family, including his mother Suzanne Morrison, father John Bennett Perry, and stepfather Keith Morrison, carrying his coffin.
Friends co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow were also present.
Situated opposite Warner Bros Studios, where Friends was filmed, Forest Lawn Cemetery is the eternal resting place for numerous Hollywood legends, including Carrie Fisher, Paul Walker, Bette Davis, Walt Disney, Michael Jackson, and Anne Heche.
