Matthew Perry's grieving fans pay tribute to him on what would have been his 55th birthday: 'You didn't deserve this'


The actor, who famously played smart-mouthed Chandler Bing on Friends, died in October, after suffering a fatal ketamine overdose.

Most mentioned his iconic character, known for his sarcasm and well-timed quips, delivered over the course of 10 successful seasons with castmates David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow In a press conference, US attorney Martin Estrada, in turn, described Perry's steady descent into ketamine addiction, which he said began with him obtaining the controlled substance through doctors, before eventually resorting to street vendors. An accompanying indictment alleged the defendants made tens of thousands of dollars by selling the narcotic to the troubled star, and that in one instance, Doctor Salvador Plasencia, of Malibu Canyon Urgent Care, worked with fellow doc Mark Chavez to charge Perry $2,000 for a vial of ketamine that actually cost $12.
