Actor Matthew Perry best known for playing Chandler Bing on 'Friends' has passed away.

He was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home.

He was 54-years-old.

LA Times reports authorities responded to his home where he was discovered unresponsive.

They say sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, did not cite a cause of death.

The sources add there was no sign of foul play.

The Los Angeles Police Department’s robbery-homicide detectives are investigating the death.

The cause of death will be determined at a later date by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.
