Friends Star Spotted Alive Just Hours Before Mysterious Death

Friends star Matthew Per­ry was pho­tographed din­ing with an uniden­ti­fied woman just 24 hours before his shock­ing death at the Hotel Bel-Air, cap­tur­ing the actor in seem­ing­ly good spir­its accord­ing to onlookers.

On Fri­day after­noon, the 53-year-old Friends actor was spot­ted shar­ing an engaged con­ver­sa­tion and meal with the brunette over the course of an hour. Wit­ness­es said Per­ry appeared ani­mat­ed while chat­ting with the mys­tery woman, bare­ly touch­ing his food or drink.

Tragedy struck the next day when Per­ry was found uncon­scious in his hotel hot tub. His assis­tant sum­moned emer­gency ser­vices after dis­cov­er­ing the actor’s unre­spon­sive body around 4pm on Octo­ber 27th.

While no foul play is sus­pect­ed, police are inves­ti­gat­ing the cir­cum­stances sur­round­ing Per­ry’s sud­den pass­ing due to his celebri­ty sta­tus. Those close to the star had recent­ly described him as hap­pi­er and more ener­gized than ever, com­mit­ted to new act­ing projects and tele­vi­sion ideas after con­quer­ing per­son­al demons.

The woman din­ing with Per­ry may be the last per­son to see him alive. How­ev­er, her iden­ti­ty remains a mys­tery shroud­ing the last hours of the beloved sit­com leg­end’s life.
