In the documentary about Matthew Perry, released on October 27, new details about the actor’s funeral have emerged. According to his sister Mia Perry Bowick, his co-stars from the show «Friends» — Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, and Matt LeBlanc — attended the open funeral along with Perry’s loved ones.
Mia shared that she hadn’t seen them in over 20 years, and the first to approach her was Jennifer Aniston, who hugged her. All five actors went to the casket, holding hands and crying. She also recounted a moment when she felt her brother’s presence, who, according to her, said, «How awful is all this?» This made her laugh in such a heavy moment.
Matthew Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing on «Friends», - passed away at the age of 54 from «acute effects of ketamine». In October 2023, it was reported that police responded to a call about a person experiencing cardiac arrest in Los Angeles, where they found the actor unconscious in a hot tub.
Following his death, his co-stars released a joint statement expressing their grief, noting that they were not just colleagues but family. The documentary «The One About Matthew Perry» did not feature the «Friends» actors. The film’s director, Mary Robertson, explained that they chose not to participate as everyone grieves in their own way.
Two months later, a toxicology report indicated drowning, coronary artery disease, and the influence of buprenorphine as contributing factors. Perry’s death was ruled an accident, and the initial investigation was closed in January 2024, but then reopened. Five individuals faced federal charges in connection with Perry’s death.
