“Friends” actor Matthew Perry struggled with loneliness and sadness before passing away from a ketamine overdose on Oct. 28, 2023, his family says.
On an Oct. 28 interview with the “Today” show marking the first anniversary of Perry’s death, his mother, Suzanne Morrison, said that despite having a bright spirit, the actor was “very lonely in his soul.” Perry’s stepfather, Keith Morrison, added that beneath Perry’s outgoing personality, there was a deeper, unseen side to him.
