In the wake of Matthew Perry's tragic passing, his mother has come forward with some poignant reflections about her beloved son. The Friends star, who famously portrayed the lovable Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom, passed away at the age of 54 on October 28th of last year. While the investigation into his death is ongoing, five individuals, including his personal assistant and two doctors, have been charged.
As the first anniversary of Perry's death approaches, his mother, Suzanne Morrison, has opened up about a conversation she had with her son just before he passed away. She recalls that he was showing her one of his new houses and suddenly turned to her and said, "I love you so much, and I'm so happy to be with you now." Morrison shares that these words struck her as slightly unusual at the time, but she didn't think much of it. She couldn't help but wonder, "How long has it been since we've had a conversation like that? It's been years."
Looking back on that moment, Morrison believes that her son may have had a premonition about his impending death. She recalls, "There was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly." She adds that Perry also told her, "I'm not frightened anymore," but this statement worried her. The actor's mother reveals that she was always concerned about his well-being and the struggles he faced with addiction over the years.
Perry was the only child of Morrison and her ex-husband John Bennett Perry. After his passing, the family released a statement expressing their heartbreak and gratitude for the outpouring of love from fans. The cause of Perry's death was eventually ruled as being due to the acute effects of ketamine, a type of anesthetic, with drowning and coronary artery disease listed as contributing factors.
It was revealed during the trials of his doctor, Mark Chavez, and friend, Erik Fleming, that Perry had been taking ketamine 6 to 8 times a day prior to his death. This drug was allegedly provided to him by a network of corrupt doctors. Perry's struggles with addiction dated back to his time on Friends, where he rose to fame as one of the biggest stars of his generation. The show, which also featured Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 and is currently streaming on Netflix.
As we remember Matthew Perry and his contributions to the entertainment industry, it's important to also recognize the impact of addiction and the need for support and understanding for those who struggle with it. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, please seek help and support. We must continue to spread awareness and break the stigma surrounding this issue.
