New information has emerged regarding the passing of Matthew Perry.

According to TMZ, Perry passed away at his residence following some morning exercise.

He had just returned from playing pickleball for two hours.

Upon the assistant’s return, roughly two hours later, Perry was found unresponsive, prompting an emergency 911 call.

TMZ mentions that Perry was located in the home’s jacuzzi, and there were no indications of drugs or any foul play at the scene.

Scot Williams, who leads the Robbery Homicide Division that is investigating Perry’s death, said the “cause of death may not be known for some time, but at this point foul play is not suspected.” The cause of death will be determined by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
