Close friends of Matthew Perry have come together and announced the formation of a foundation which focuses on helping people battling addiction in the beloved actor's name
Matthew Perry's friends have launched a foundation which focuses on helping people battling addiction after the Friends star tragically died over the weekend.
The actor became addicted to the painkiller Vicodin after a 1997 jet skiing accident and, at the peak of his addiction, was taking 55 tablets a day before his first stint in rehab. A statement from the organisation said: “The Matthew Perry Foundation is the realization of Matthew's enduring commitment to helping others struggling with the disease of addiction.
Investigations into the actor’s death are still ongoing, however, officials have revealed that there is no indication of foul play.
