Matthew Perry’s Assistant Found Him Unresponsive in a Hot Tub, 911 Audio Reveals

Law enforcement told TMZ that no illicit drugs were found at his home and foul play was not suspected.

A 911 dispatch call about Matthew Perry’s sudden death at his Los Angeles home on Saturday night mentioned “drowning” before first responders arrived on the scene to discover the Friends actor unresponsive in a jacuzzi. Perry’s assistant made the 911 call, and tried to pull his head above water before first responders arrived, according to the Los Angeles Times. “An adult male patient was deceased prior to first response arrival,” the LAFD said in a statement Monday. “The patient was found by a bystander who had re-positioned the victim where the head was out of water.” Law enforcement sources told TMZ that no illicit drugs were found, foul play was not suspected, and that Perry’s death is still under investigation as of Monday morning.
