Whoa! Just got a message from a friend saying this, and came right over here.
Matt's issue was cocaine, right?
A friend told me that an old hippy he knew told him that all of his 1960's friends into uppers died, but those into downers were still alive. That was ~20 years ago.
Matt was addicted to nasal cocaine, right? If so, a heart attack and drowning would make sense.
I read that the cast of Friends make $20M/year on syndication. A lot of cash to destroy yourself.
I read Matt was clean for a while, but this makes me question that. Like Fortress, I was never a fan of Friends, but Matt was good in "The Whole Nine Yards", IMO. Good movie! Could be worth rewatching after this.
RIP Matt [1969-2023].
