His death was treated as a 'water rescue', according to a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesperson, with no apparent foul play suspected.

Perry achieved global fame with his role of Chandler Bing in Friends alongside David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow, earning fan-favorite status with his sarcastic jokes and witty quips.

The actor got back together with his Friends gang to film a reunion special back in 2021, where they all reflected on their time on the hit show.

The actor had also been very open about his lifelong struggle with addiction to alcohol and opioids, most prominently in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir, which released last year.

While promoting his book, he did a series of interviews where he bravely opened up about his struggles, becoming emotional at times as he went into candid detail.

No cause of death has been officially confirmed.
