Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Heart attack? As much as this sucks I hope it wasn't drug induced.

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.

Could have fallen by accident, cramped up, caught in the rope, or any number of things.

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.

For sure. Hard drugs will Fuck you up big time.

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

I can't imagine his heart didn't take damage from years of drug abuse, even if he died sober
