Matthew Perry's Eerie Instagram Post Spurs Theories About His Death

Matthew Perry, who's known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, passed away at the age of 54. The actor died at his residence on October 28, 2023, and was found in his hot tub – but the cause of death remains "deferred" on his records, although TMZ states that first responders were called on a cardiac arrest.

Investigators will be using toxicology reports to see whether any foreign substances played a role in Perry's death, according to sources.

Last week, Perry uploaded a photo on Instagram that seemingly foreshadowed his death. The 54-year-old lounged in his hot tub underneath the moon. He also shared several pictures referencing Batman. Interestingly, the last chapter in Perry's memoir is dedicated to the superhero.

"Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good?" he wrote in his caption. "I'm Mattman."

Social media users believe that the details surrounding Perry's death are strange and that it seems like he was aware of his impending doom. @joysparkleshine on TikTok noted how his last photo was taken in the same spot where the actor allegedly died. She asks, "But it is really weird considering that was his last post and did he know? Was that foreshadowing? Was that his way of telling us or warn us somehow?"

One fan in the comment section wrote, "Batman is also the title of the last chapter of his memoir. A little odd he started referring to himself as Mattman only days before he died."

Matthew Perry's Struggles with Addiction

Perry wrote a memoir titled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, where he revealed his struggles with addictions to alcohol and prescription drugs. Despite his immense success, he faced the challenges of addiction throughout his life, having his first alcoholic beverage at the age of 14. Viewers wonder if the drinking and the drugs finally took a toll on his body.

Following his time on Friends, Perry's struggles with drug use persisted. In his memoir, he opened up about his near-death experience four years ago. Perry's opioid overuse led to a life-threatening rupture of his colon. The consequences were dire: he endured two weeks in a coma, a five-month hospital stay, and 9 months of relying on a colostomy bag. His family received the devastating news that he had a mere "two percent" chance of surviving.

Just a couple of years after this harrowing ordeal, Perry found himself close to death once again when his heart stopped beating for five minutes. Because of these harrowing experiences, maybe Perry knew deep down that it was only a matter of time.

Matthew Perry Vaccine Rumors

Social media users are also wondering whether or not the Covid-19 mRNA vaccine had something to do with Perry's alleged cardiac arrest. In 2021, Perry shared an image of himself wearing a shirt that read, "Could I be any more vaccinated?"

His comment section is full of people speculating about the vaccine being the cause of his demise. "Probably what killed him. Very sad," says @Ikychik.

TikTokers Suggest Perry Didn't Kill Himself

Sources haven't come forward to suggest that Perry committed suicide, but a TikToker (@lowkyloulou) added her two cents on the situation. In a video garnering 18,000 likes and over 400,000 views, she says, "I don't think Matty Perry killed himself. I also don't think he drowned."

Closing Thoughts

It may take weeks before we get more information surrounding Perry's death, and we may never get the entire truth. Though the vaccine has caused harm in a number of individuals, the impact of substance and alcohol addiction on the human body can't be underestimated.

Perry left a legacy behind as one of the most iconic characters on television. His character, Chandler, and Friends continue to be cherished by millions. As the fans mourn the loss of Perry, we're reminded that addiction and mental health are battles that often transcend fame and wealth.

“Someday you, too, might be called upon to do something important, so be ready for it,” Perry wrote in the final lines of his memoir. “And when whatever happens, just think, What would Batman do? and do that.”
