Matthew Perry seemed to have developed a strange obsession with Batman over the years, referring to himself as “Mattman” in his final Instagram posts in the week before his tragic passing.
Perry’s fans have speculated that the actor was sending out his own “bat signal” in the run up to his death after his lifelong battle with substance abuse. The Friends alum was found unresponsive in a spa pool at his Pacific Palisades home in California.
With the world still in mourning over the beloved star’s death, the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that his cause of death was inconclusive and “deferred”, with the investigation still “ongoing”, according to authorities.
In the past, Perry confessed that he saw himself as Batman - a young, damaged person who channeled the loss of his parents into being a crime-fighting vigilante with a strong sense of justice and responsibility to help others, reports Daily Mail.
He dubbed the DC superhero a “rich loner”, which he himself related to after being captivated by the films directed by Christopher Nolan in the mid 2000s.
