Matthew Perry was taken aback when Jennifer Aniston confronted him about his drinking habits during their time on "Friends." In his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," Perry revealed that Aniston approached him in a "weird but loving way," expressing her concerns.

She told him, "'I know you're drinking,' and 'We can smell it.'" This revelation hit Perry hard, especially because he had recently gotten over his feelings for Aniston as she began a relationship with Brad Pitt.

Perry admitted to Aniston that he knew he was drinking too much but didn't know how to address it. He later shared in his memoir that he had spent approximately $9 million in his journey to get sober. By the time he filmed the "Friends" reunion for Max, Perry had been clean for 18 months. However, tragedy struck as Perry passed away on October 28.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner conducted his autopsy the following day, but the official cause of death is pending toxicology reports.

Perry's funeral took place at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer were seen arriving in black attire.

According to insiders, Aniston has been struggling the most with Perry's sudden death. The source revealed that this loss comes less than a year after the death of her father and has completely knocked her off her feet emotionally. Aniston is currently trying to regroup and recover, but the toll of these deaths has been devastating for her.
