    He drowned in a lap pool, not a jacuzzi as being reported.

    Correction, Twitter says it was a hot tub, lap pool combo.

        If he was in a too-hot hot tub and already warm from a workout it can be deadly. My parents had a hot tub and were warned not to be in it at high temperatures for long.

          For sure. People are going to speculate but literally any number of things could do it.

          I’d put suicide or overdose low on my list but again we just don’t know.

            According to the TMZ article, he played pickleball for 2 hours before this happened. My money is on his ticker going.

              Yeah basically around 50 you’re just at the mercy of sudden death as a possible outcome. It can happen before of course but I’d say 50 onward it’s just on the table as possibly the way you go.

              We can reduce certain risks, but you can never remove it completely. Even if you take care of yourself it’s always possible just some random shit happens. Sucks, definitely anyone dying before age 65 is a tragedy.

                True, and I am very aware of this as a 50+ male. But Perry has been in acoma and lost past of his intestines a few years back due to substance and alcohol abuse, as well as suffered a recent heart attack related to his addicitons. So he stacked the deck widely to his own detriment.

        ‘People’ reported no drugs found on the scene. Original call was for cardiac arrest.

          That kind of makes me laugh, I bet if he had drugs, they were good ones. The cops are like, “Nope, no drugs here.”
