“We responded to the 1800 block of Blue Sail Rd for a death investigation on a male 4:10 p.m. this afternoon. He was in his 50s,” the Los Angeles Police Department told The Post.5Perry revealed he had been to 6,000 AA meetings, gone to rehab 15 times, and been in detox 65 times.In 1997, a jet ski accident on the set of his film “Fools Rush In” sent Perry to the hospital — and his Vicodin addiction was born.
Perry later admitted that at one point, he was ingesting 55 of the pills per day, causing his weight to plummet to 128 pounds. “The doctors told my family that I had a 2% chance to live,” Perry told Diane Sawyer during a promotional interview for his book. “I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.”He was also forced to use a colostomy bag for nine months.
