Courteney Cox Remembers Her Friends Co-Star Matthew Perry On His First Death Anniversary With Heartfelt Tribute: ‘Missing You Today And…’

by

As a devoted fan who grew up watching Friends, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of loss upon reflecting on Matthew Perry’s tragic demise a year ago. Monica and Chandler were more than just characters on a screen to me; they were a comforting part of my childhood, a source of laughter that still resonates today.

On the one-year anniversary of Matthew Perry’s passing, Courteney Cox, who played Monica Geller in Friends, shared a heartfelt tribute for her late co-star. Known worldwide as Chandler Bing from the popular sitcom, Perry died at 53 years old on October 28, 2023. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner determined his death to be accidental, caused by an overdose of ketamine following a post-mortem examination.

Over time, Monica and Chandler grew to be beloved characters on the show, accumulating a significant fan base. Recently, Courteney Cox posted on Instagram, “I miss you today and every day,” accompanied by a heart symbol, tagging the Matthew Perry Foundation, which aids individuals struggling with addiction.

In her post, Cox included two photos: the first showed her and Perry appearing affectionate and grinning, probably on a filming set. The second photo was a throwback to the five actors who were part of the beloved sitcom from 1994-2004 – Jennifer Aniston (as Rachel), Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matt LeBlanc (Joey), Matthew Perry (Chandler), and David Schwimmer (Ross).

worldwide fans and industry peers felt deep sadness upon Perry’s passing, especially considering his open discussions about his struggles with alcohol and opioid dependency in his book Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing. This memoir not only delves into the life of the actor but also recounts his battles with substance abuse and various recovery programs.

The investigation of his death has so far resulted in several arrests, including one doctor and a defendant who has been referred to as the Ketamine Queen. They had engaged in the supply of ketamine to Perry. The actor was discovered deceased in the bathtub of his residence in Los Angeles on October 28, 2023. An autopsy done on him concluded that ketamine usage was one of the reasons for his death.

Matthew Perry suffered a tragic demise as a result of ruthless corporate greed by drug traffickers. Five individuals, including Dr. Mark Chavez from California, one of the accused, were apprehended for their involvement in supplying and distributing the substance to Perry. Remarkably, Dr. Chavez admitted his guilt in this criminal act.

If you’re aware that someone is dealing with alcohol or drug problems, consider contacting the relevant authorities or agencies for help. Various hotlines exist to assist in such situations.
