Matthew Perry wrote about surviving addiction, then died within a year
Original: Matthew Perry wrote a book about surviving addiction. Less than a year later, he was dead
Matthew Perry, the actor best known for playing Chandler Bing on Friends, published a memoir about his decades-long struggle with addiction, then died less than a year later in October 2023 at age 54. The resurfaced reflection on his recovery has renewed discussion of the gap between his public message of survival and his death, which an autopsy linked to the acute effects of ketamine.
Why now: Ongoing coverage and reflection a year after his death are drawing renewed attention to his memoir and his openness about addiction.
