In a statement to <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/30/entertainment/first-responders-reveal-additional-details-about-matthew-perrys-death/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a>, they revealed that emergency responders found Perry "unconscious in a stand-alone jacuzzi" when they were called to his home on Saturday. When asked about the incident at Perry’s address, a spokesperson for the department told the outlet that "a bystander had brought the man’s head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then Firefighters removed him from the water upon their arrival." "A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival," they added. <img class="wp-image-1263234666 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-508980378.jpg" alt="Matthew Perry" width="729" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| The actor was just 54 years old at the time of his death.

Upon hearing of the incident, the stars paid tribute to Perry in a joint statement to <a href="https://people.com/matthew-perry-friends-costars-speak-out-after-his-death-exclusive-8384107" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>. "We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family," their statement read. "There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss." "In time we will say more, as and when we are able," the statement continues. "For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world." <img class="wp-image-1263234686 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-77684711-1.jpg" alt="Friends cast" width="1024" height="666" />[[imagecaption|| Cast of "Friends": Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and David Schwimmer.

At the bottom of the intersection’s stop sign, outside the well-known apartment building exterior used as an establishing shot throughout the show’s 10 seasons, now lays a beautiful collection of bouquets and several handwritten notes. "All I knew is that whenever I had big feelings, I could pop in a VHS boxset of a given season in the VCR and not just feel okay, but even laugh,” reads one note as per the <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/matthew-perry-friends-tribute-cause-of-death-autopsy-b2438785.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Independent</a>. "As reliable as a true friend, 20 years later, Friends is still my comfort show. Thank you, Matty, for making me feel peace and joy, from middle school to my mid-thirties." "Friends was the answer and solution for my anxiety before I even had a word for that feeling," another wrote on sharpie on a cardboard cutout. <img class="wp-image-1263234688 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-1132315-1.jpg" alt="Friends cast" width="1024" height="671" />[[imagecaption|| Actors Courteney Cox Arquette (L), Jennifer Aniston (C) and Matthew Perry are shown in a Friends scene.
