That didn't pop up in the early "cause of death" suspicions, but I doubt we'll ever see anything than "suddenly and unexpectedly" tied to his death. He _had_ been clean and sober, which is why this is unexpected for so many.

Mathew Perry played pickle ball, so do I. If his heart was cutting short his playing time, that is to be expected. I know older pickle ball players with heart issues (one I think is related to the jab) that cannot play as long as they used to.

From the Daily Mail:

"As police sources said they had found numerous prescription painkillers and anti-anxiety pills in his house, a close friend revealed there had been worrying signs of 'fatigue' in the days leading up to his death."

"Perry was obsessed with playing pickleball – a game similar to tennis and table tennis – but is said to have gone home early from a game at a country club near his home complaining of tiredness just a few hours before he was discovered."

"Although Perry usually played the game twice a day, on Saturday he'd only lasted an hour on the court before going home, his regular partner told TV presenter Billy Bush."

I strongly suspect some arterial blockage.

A scene that has played out all over American pickleball courts these last few years. I have stopped counting. I'll add that MANY of those people sidelined were not sick, were in great shape and then one day they are playing, feel very tired and out of breath so they go sit out a game, try to play again and cannot so they go home and next thing you know the person is in line for a cardiac ablation or had a heart attack or the doctors don't know what is wrong, but they are now bed ridden, no energy, lose a quarter of their weight and have no ability to get a full breath. OR they get spastic angina. What is that you ask. Well you could just be sitting there on your couch enjoying a cup of coffee, watching the View and suddenly your heart goes into full squeeze. It will either scare you or kill you. The doctors will be baffled as to the cause since you mountain bike hard 3x/wk, play pickleball, have an otherwise great heart and veins and keep a regimented diet. Mystery oh mystery.

My vote is cv19 shot damage; if he also have a bout it 2 of cv19 that would make things worse (unless he sought help from certain patriot doctors I know).

If all those Rx pills were really in his home, one wonders if he truly had stopped taking them. An addict cannot have that stuff around if they’ve truly broken the habit. Hmmm.

That question might be answered on autopsy. Hopefully honestly.

It certainly sounds like there is good reason to think that.
