He was 54.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was a former schoolmate of Perry's in Ottawa, described the latter's passing as"shocking and saddening". Perry's last post on Instagram, on Oct. 23, included a photograph of him sitting by a pool or jacuzzi at night, with the words:"Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman."

The group reunited in 2021, 17 years after the series finale, for a much-hyped special that aired on HBO Max. In a New York Times interview published in October 2022, Perry said he had been clean for 18 months:"I've probably spent US$9 million or something trying to get sober."
