Matthew Perry’s death remains a heartbreaking thought for many, especially Friends TV show fans all over the world. On October 28, 2023, Perry was found dead at his home in Los Angeles. The cause of death was eventually determined to be a ketamine overdose.

However, as per recent news reported by TMZ, Perry’s Pacific Palisades home, where he was found dead in the hot tub of his bedroom, was a complete mess.

“It was a disaster,” the source told The New York Post. “The master suite looked like someone was in the middle of a long bender. Clothes everywhere, towels on the floor, just dirty.”

“But the rest of the house was clean, really neat,” the source continued. “Like maybe the cleaning lady wasn’t allowed in those bedrooms.” According to the source, it was evident that something terrible had occurred, and there were signs that someone had attempted to cover it up.
