This was Matthew Perry’s last post on Instagram: ‘I’m Mattman’

Matthew Perry has died at the age of 54. The Friends star was found dead at his Los Angeles apartment. The Los Angeles Police is currently investigating Perry’s death, at the moment there is no suspected foul play. Matthew Perry apparently died in a drowning accident in his home, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

Matthew Perry is best known for playing Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom Friends. Perry also published a memoir in November 2022 entitled Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir.

In the weeks leading up to Matthew Perry’s devastating death, he posted several cryptic photos on Instagram, each of them referencing ‘Mattman’. Some of these photos also had a link to Batman, with a carved Bat signal on a pumkin.

Due to Perry’s death, we may never find out the real message he was trying to share, but perhaps it was a hint at what the actor’s costume was going to be for Halloween. Since it was also linked to Batman, perhaps Perry was hinting that he had some role in the next movie.

I’m thinking Chandler was cast in The Batman sequel 👀

In a more sinister interpretation, some fans believe that the ‘Mattman’ series was actually a cry for help from the actor. One of his captions was:

Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you? - I'm Mattman

In the comments at the time of the post, fans were asking if Matthew was okay and if he needed help:

Are you okay, should we send for help?

I think he’s trying to tell us something…

After the news of his death, fans are convinced it was a cry for help:

It was a cry for help 😞 Batman signal but no one came ./ Goodbye Chandler Bing 🥺💔

I think all the recent posts were a call for help
