Matthew Perry’s brother-in-law, David Bowick, made a rare comment about the actor’s tragic death while discussing a dark chapter in his life.
“There’s a documentary about my brother-in-law Matthew Perry coming out on Netflix Tuesday,” the musician wrote on Facebook Saturday, referring to “The One About Matthew Perry,” a three-part docuseries.
“I’m in it very briefly, but my lovely wife is in it quite a bit,” Bowick, who wed Perry’s sister Mia Perry Bowick in August 2023.
“I’ve never really talked much about Matthew publicly. He was someone the whole world felt like they knew, but to me, he was just my brother. He always started our interactions with ‘Hey, brother’ and I always loved that.”
Alongside the post, David shared an image from his wedding to Mia, in which the newlyweds stood alongside his late sister, Zoe, who passed away last month at age 46, and Perry.
“Now they’re both gone,” he penned. “It’s a strange thing to watch the world remember someone while you’re still trying to figure out how to live without the people you remember them with.”
David said he was asked to write music for the documentary and it “meant a lot to be able to contribute a small piece to telling [Perry’s] story.”
“I don’t have anything particularly profound to say. I just wanted to share this picture of two people I wish were still here. I miss you both so much,” the singer concluded.
Perry was found dead in his hot tub on Oct. 28, 2023. He was 54.
A coroner announced that the “Fools Rush In” star died from “acute effects of ketamine,” in addition to drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects.
In 2024, federal prosecutors charged five people with conspiracy and distribution of ketamine, causing Perry’s death.
Three of the defendants — Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, drug counselor Erik Fleming and Dr. Mark Chavez — pleaded guilty.
“The One About Matthew Perry” premieres Tuesday on Netflix.
