    Gotta admit, I expected it to be related to his past drug/alcohol abuse. Drowning is a bit of a shock.

        It was a lap pool, not a hot tub. His home he bought last June lists a lap pool, no hot tub.

          Well, that confirms it. There’s no way a millionaire could have had a hot tub installed since last June!

            Sources online say it was a combo of a lap pool hot tub.

            Oh wow neither did I.

            For some reason I thought it was a tiny shallow pool, like for toddlers to play in. Why would anyone even have one of those?!

            A lap pool, for doing laps, makes so much more sense. I’ve lived in a house with a pool and it’s just a huge pain in the ass. Being able to bust a couple of laps would be great though. I’d love to have this.

            Damn, that was his last post. Pretty eerie. Seems like there are worse ways to go

            Apparently his last Twitter/Instagram whatever post he showed off his new hot tub, so could be either I suppose.

            Twitter is saying it is a hot tub, lap pool combo.

        Doesn’t really matter, does it? Not that most people, yours truly included, didn’t contemplate it. But the man’s dead, and that’s kinda it.

      One has to wonder about the medical issues he was experiencing in the past couple of years were.

      I’m pretty sure addiction doesn’t make one healthier or younger so you wonder what type of damage has incurred over the years of his struggles. Perhaps he had heart issues or something else that will surface in the hours and says ahead.

      Still sad to hear he’s passed. Money can make some things easier in life without a doubt but it can’t fix everything it seems.

      Apparently drowning in a hot tub, while it could be from any number of things, screams possible drug or alcohol involvement.

        Yeah… It’s possibly not, but the overwhelming probability is drugs.

        Addiction is a disease. I’m sad to see him go.

      It was possibly a heart attack that caused him to drown, which wouldn’t be much of a shock considering his painkiller abuse, known to cause heart problems. No drugs or alcohol on site, but it’s not like his addictions didn’t leave a lasting impact.

            Maybe he is not from the US, like me. Outside the US people don’t immediately think of opioids when someone says painkiller. They are not prescribed nearly as much. Maybe not at all where I am from.

            What a stupid response. I don’t know your mom. How long did your mom abuse painkillers? What are the dosages and frequencies she took them at? Did she ever get clean and if so how long had she been abusing them and how long had she been clean? Was she a polysubstance abuser? Did your mom have any cardiac conditions of note? Did she take any medications? Familial history? You see what im getting at with how dumb your response was? I did get my heart checked out and I got my heart rate up to 138 and ran 15 minutes longer than I needed to and the cardiologist/lipidologist told me in his career of over 40 years I’m only the second time he’s ever seen someone’s heart not skip a single beat. I could still go the way of Matthew Perry/your mom. You never know. Pain killer abuse varies a fuck ton. So many other things come into play when we’re talking heart attacks.

        Ehh not really. Dehydration alone could cause you to pass out in a hot tub when you think you’re just really relaxed.

          You have to be pretty fucked up to die of dehydration in a hot tub. I’d imagine dehydration makes you pretty fucking thirsty.

          I guess I wouldn’t know because I have never been in a hot tub or dehydrated? I don’t have much in common with Perry beyond not remembering the 90s. I was too young, he was too high.

        If you’ve got low blood pressure, could be naturally that way or medication can cause it, you can pass out fast in a hot tub. I can’t go in them for that reason.
