“Matthew Perry Found Dead After Reportedly Playing 2-Hour Game Of Pickleball”
A former top-ranked junior tennis star killed by two hours of pickleball? His health had to have seriously deteriorated. I guess he drowned in his hot tub after the pickleball, but the real cause of death (that is to say what caused him to pass out in a hot tub) has not been revealed. It sounds like heart failure, but who knows? Perry had experienced multiple health issues in recent years, many of them more or less self-inflicted by years of substance abuse.
Matthew was a very talented, funny guy. During the COVID lockdown, I binge-watched Mr. Sunshine, which wasn’t difficult since there were only nine episodes aired (+ four unaired). Although it never caught on, I found it to be an amusing, underrated comedy series, with excellent lead performances by Perry and Allison Janney. (While Matthew was solid, the comedic star was really Allison Janney, who stole every scene she was in.)
