TROUBLED STAR
In the months and years leading up to Perry’s death, many fans were worried about him.
At times he appeared upset and disheveled.
The actor seemed downcast during his final public sighting at The Apple Pan, a popular Los Angeles restaurant, even though he was out with friends at the time.
This excursion came after Perry wrapped up the whirlwind tour for promoting his new memoir Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: A Candid, Darkly Funny Book.
In the memoir, he shared details about his battle with addiction.
At one point, the star said he was taking 55 Vicodin pills a day and weighed just 128 pounds.
The star’s habit also caused him to lose all of his top teeth at one point.
Perry’s book also detailed how he nearly died from gastrointestinal perforation caused by his extreme opiate usage in 2019.
Doctors said he had just a two percent chance or surviving after he was in a coma for two weeks.
Perry was forced to wear a colostomy bag and said he woke up covered in his own feces between 50 and 60 times while he was hospitalized for five months.
“When it breaks, it breaks,” he said.
“You have to get nurses.”
