Investigators suspect that the beloved "Friends" star drowned in his hot tub after suffering a cardiac arrest.

An autopsy was completed on Sunday and toxicology results are currently pending, according to the Los Angeles County coroner. Perry’s body is also reportedly ready for release.

LAPD officials confirmed that no illicit drugs were found at Perry’s home after his death on Saturday, although investigators reportedly found anti-depressant, anti-anxiety, and COPD prescription drugs inside the actor’s house.

The Friends actor detailed his lengthy battle with substance abuse in his recent memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, and revealed that he “almost died” in 2018 when his colon burst from opioid abuse.

Perry also revealed how he fell into a coma for two weeks and was forced to spend five months in the hospital.

"It is very odd to live in a world where if you died, it would shock people but surprise no one," he wrote in his 2022 memoir.
