New details have emerged in the wake of Matthew Perry’s unexpected death.
The late actor was found dead in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles home on Saturday, Oct. 28. He was only 54.
As per a new report from Los Angeles Police Department, Perry had not been in the hot tub for long, noting his body was “not waterlogged” upon the arrival of first responders.
The Friends alum’s assistant was the one to find the body drowned in the tub, which he tried to “reposition” by bringing it above the water.
First responders were called to the scene on suspicion of cardiac arrest.
Speaking to The Mirror, a spokesperson for the law enforcement authorities revealed, “A bystander had brought the man's head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then Firefighters removed him from the water upon their arrival.
“A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival,“ they added.
Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office also confirmed that the autopsy of the deceased has been completed.
However, the final results are pending of a toxicology report, which could take several weeks to come through.
LAPD also found a handful of prescription drugs, including anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs and a COPD drug while searching his home, according to TMZ.
