Does part of you suspect Matthew Perry took his own life?

[sincerely dead]

It's sad but that's the first place my mind jumped to. Like, it was him drowning with intention. Even if it was cardiac arrest that killed him, was something intentional done? It just makes me wonder.

And then, I think to myself: if that would be the case, so many people will act sooooo sympathetic and understanding of suicidal people. And the pro-life BS will once again begin.

no what i suspect happened was either he had a cardiac arrest or was high on drugs

 

[Ernest1964]

100% yes. Oded on drugs and passed out in the hot tub. Very plausible.

 

[Old Friend]

I think it could be that there was no grand plan but if he were to pass out and die, it was fine by him.

Quite a few troubled celebrities have gone out that way.

I think it was self-destruction. He perhaps did not mean to end his life there and then, but he was pursuing a path that was, inevitably, going to bring him to an end. A lot of people want to CTB, but we here are just actively attempting to bring it about. Others just know its coming...

100% think he was happy to go

Definitely, signs on his instagram were there for all to see as almost a cry for help, but no one could come to his aid fast enough to prevent it.

 

[lostinmythoughts]

It's obvious! He was old enough to know what he was taking will kill him!

 

[DreamEnd]

I thought it was an accidental death by ketamine?

 

[WhiteRabbit]

He had done a lot of damage to his body over the years. I think the combo of physical activity (he played pickleball for hours before getting in the hot tub) + prescription drugs + heat is what did him in. Not suicide.
