The cause of death for actor Matthew Perry, who was found unresponsive in his hot tub Saturday, has been “deferred,” the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office announced on Sunday afternoon. Many news outlets had initially written he had died from an apparent drowning.
“In cases where the cause of death cannot be determined at the time of autopsy, a deferred certificate will be issued until additional studies have been completed,” according to the LA coroner’s guidelines.
