Beloved Friends star, Matthew Perry, died at the age of 54 on Saturday. 

The actor’s passing has left fans and his pals stunned as it comes after he recently published his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, telling how he had overcame his struggles with drugs and alcohol that almost left him dead.

Matthew, who found fame playing Chandler Bing on Friends, is thought to have drowned in a jacuzzi, while one of his close pals exclusively told DailyMail.com that his inner circle is currently in a state of ‘total shock.’

Sources told DailyMail.com he reportedly played a two-hour game of Pickleball and medics were called to his home to respond to an apparent heart attack incident.

The Screen Actors Guild Award winner, who became a household name after landing the part of Chandler Bing on the NBC television sitcom Friends, was born in Williamstown, Massachusetts in 1969.
