He was found dead in his jacuzzi. Crying

I feel like I lost a friend. I’ve watched him and he made me laugh so many times. Rest in peace.

Sad
He’s been very open with struggling with a lot of mental illness
Also hate to break it to you, but celebrities are not your friends…

She feels how she feels. Sheesh - she knows he's not her friend.

I'm sure she knows that he wasn't actually her friend. It's still sad nonetheless when someone that age dies

Exactly. First I edited it out of my post because I felt self conscious like of course I know he’s not my friend and don’t want people thinking I’m delusional but then I put it back because I saw your post and I thought to myself what the heck why am I editing something like this who cares… I watched him so many times and he never failed to make me laugh and I always turned to friends for a pick me up. So he does and will continue to be ‘like’ a companion to me

A light has been lost in the world. We can morn that.

Especially, one that brought a lot of laughter to many people even though he was undergoing difficulties himself.

I really enjoyed his character on friends.
IRL, he had a sad life.
I seem to remember that he was not a friend of Israel.

The end of an era 😢 For those of us who grew up with Friends and know it by heart, this is devastating.

Also, hot tubs often lead to heart attacks. I wish people would be more careful.

That's awful:( he brought a lot of people joy.

I'm actually in middle of his autobiography now, so not terribly surprised to hear this but so sad, he fought so hard...

Very sad. He was only 54. He died of cardiac arrest in his jacuzzi.

A smart, talented actor with great comedic timing.

It’s very sad

Currently watching FRIENDS with DH. He was such a great character.
Based on what I read, he’s been clean for years and they don’t suspect an overdose. Most likely case was heart attack while in the bath

oy, that's so sad. he was a star.
I still think of him as that goofy young man and it's hard to believe he's not here anymore.

He was great in friends but he always made me cry in Ron Clarke.

That was a performance on a totally different level, his character was so delicate.

Sad to hear.

Some people are saying he was heavily vaccinated for Covid. So that may have caused his death.
