What does Edwards believe could be the missing piece of the puzzle? She raises the possibility of a relapse. Edwards suggests that a recent social media post by Perry hints at his potential substance use leading up to his death. As someone who knew Perry well, she draws attention to his altered behavior, posting more frequently than usual.
Additionally, he referred to himself as “Mattman” in his most recent post, a persona he created out of his love for Batman. Edwards explains that Perry only embraced this alter ego when he was not sober. She recalls, “Mattman would come out when he was not sober and he felt kind of invincible.”
Edwards also sheds light on Perry’s relationship with water and drugs. She reveals an incident where she was required to intervene when he was found naked and high in a neighbor’s swimming pool. According to Edwards, Perry had a penchant for being in water when under the influence. She explains, “He always wanted to be in the pool or the Jacuzzi.”
The hardest part for Edwards is the lack of a chance to say goodbye. She mourns the loss of her friend, expressing regret that she couldn’t bid him farewell. Perry’s untimely death has left a void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
