Matthew Perry was 'deceased' before firefighters arrived, head 'brought above the water' by bystander

More details are being unearthed in the unexpected death of Matthew Perry. The "Friends" star was confirmed to be "deceased" by first responders upon arrival at his Pacific Palisades home.

Matthew Perry was already deceased by the time Los Angeles City Firefighters reached his Pacific Palisades home on Saturday, Fox News Digital can confirm. 

Upon arrival, first responders found "an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub," public information officer Erik Scott explained.

"A bystander had brought the man's head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then firefighters removed him from the water," his statement read. "A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival. The circumstances are under investigation by LAPD and the LA County Medical Examiner."
