    For those that don’t want to read that article that looks like it was written by a teenage intern -

      From the article, talking about the last show he did, after a 3-year run …

      Perry tweeted he found out it was being cancelled when he arrived on set and discovered his face on the stage door had been painted over with green paint.

      That’s cold that his agent didn’t tell him beforehand.

    Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.

        It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

      Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.

        Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you’re just really relaxed.

          You have to be pretty fucked up to die of dehydration in a hot tub. I’d imagine dehydration makes you pretty fucking thirsty.

          I guess I wouldn’t know because I have never been in a hot tub or dehydrated? I don’t have much in common with Perry beyond not remembering the 90s. I was too young, he was too high.

        If you’ve got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can’t go in them for that reason.

    This is my first celeb death that is surreal and weird and just generally feels wrong like this person should always exist in the background. I really hope that his story brings some lessons and guidance for others. And i hope that those who knew and loved Matthew find a soothing peace in the coming days and months.

      Really? I’m completely unsurprised he drowned in a hot tub. I figured that or overdose. He’s been a mess for a while.

        They were sad and deep losses to the industry. I still can’t bring myself to watch a a Robin Williams film.

        But for whatever reason none of them had given me this sort of what feeling. That’s all.

          Have you read kitchen confidential yet? I had bought the book years before he passed but never got around to read it. And then he died and I couldn’t bring myself to read it, until earlier this year. I am so absolutely glad I have that book, it’s like hanging out with him.

        There’s a part of me that’s kind of happy for an addict when they pass away.

        The sad thing is having to live with addiction in a country where it’s stigmatized.
