Oh my gosh. That’s awful.

I started watching Friends in the early 2000s. Great show of course. Haven’t seen the reunion though.

Shame. How do you just up and drown in a Jacuzzi as an adult...

If no drugs... drunk maybe? Though I suppose someone could fall in and hit their head and knock themselves unconscious face down.

Wasn't it a call for cardiac arrest? Maybe his heart just gave out and he slipped under the water and it filled his lungs while unconcious.

Oy, this one's tragic. As much as I didn't care for Friends, his character was the one most relatable to me and kept me from changing the channel. I loved his roles in Almost Heroes and The Whole Nine Yards (plus its sequel). I know he went through a big rough patch and to have this happen after he recently turned his life back around is terrible. It's hard when the funny ones leave us. We need so much levity in this world right now.

That's what I think happened. I'm hoping he didn't have a dark moment and succumbed to pressure.

Probably that. Either that or he was drinking again and passed out in the jacuzzi.

Yeah, though far as I understand it's a vague term? Like cardiac arrest is the thing that happens because of a particular cause, which could be many, be it a direct heart problem or some other event.

edit: Googled it out of curiosity and checking on that. Basically when the heart stops due to drowning and lack of oxygen it causes the cardiac arrest. So guess we prob won't know which came first until that info comes out.

I'm probably the only person in the world over 30 who thought he already died.

Turns out that was Luke Perry.

I thought they were the same person.

While it is tragic, it is not shocking at all. According to his memoirs, he had more than 60 failed attempts of drug and alcohol rehab. Even when Friends was still on, it was always obvious that there was something wrong with him.
