Matthew Perry was looking forward to the future. “He was in a good state of mind,” pal Athenna Crosby, who had lunch with the actor at the Hotel Bel-Air on Oct. 27, tells In Touch. “He said he was losing weight and getting in shape. He was talking about how he had struggles but had turned it all around and was excited to have a second act.”
Sadly, he will never get that second act: The next day, the beloved Friends star was found dead in his hot tub at 54, leaving a legion of fans reeling. And even though Matthew, who struggled with severe drug and alcohol addiction his entire adult life, said just a year ago that if he died “it would shock people but it wouldn’t surprise anybody,” his loved ones have been unpacking his tragic final hours in a desperate search for answers. “The saddest thing of all,” says a source, “is that people are saying Matthew could have been saved.”
LAST MOMENTS
His day was spent like many others lately. Matthew had developed “a healthy addiction” to pickleball, says his coach, Matt Manasse, adding that the actor hit the courts four to five days a week. On Oct. 28, he played with his regular partner. “She said he had been fatigued [that day] and over the past week,” pal Billy Bush wrote on Instagram. “A little more than usual. He played for one hour then went home.”
