It’s coming up to two years since Friends icon Matthew Perry was discovered dead at his Los Angeles home. On that day, Oct. 28, 2023, the entertainment world reacted with shock and sadness, especially as Friends remains almost as popular on streaming services as it was on its network television debut in the 1990s.
Details soon emerged of the tragic details of Perry’s death. He’d long battled addiction issues, with the medical examiner ruling that ketamine was his primary cause of death. Perry had actually been given the drug by his doctor as a treatment for depression, though he soon sought more than his doctor would give him.
