Everybody knows Chandler Bing. Chandler is one of the characters from the show ‘Friends’. Matthew Perry plays Chandler. Sadly, Perry dies last week. He is 54 years old.

Media say that Perry drowns in his house in Los Angeles. Friends is a very popular TV show. Many people still love it today. A lot of famous people and even the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, say that they are sad and surprised. Trudeau and Perry go to the same school in Ottawa, Canada.

Perry is a famous actor. But he has many problems, too. He drinks a lot of alcohol. He takes many pills every day. This brings many problems with his health. He talks about it in a book which he writes in 2022. His death is very sad for many people.

Difficult words: drown (to die in water), surprised (when something happens and you do not expect it), pill (a tablet which people take to stop some health problems).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
