The death of 'Friends' actor Matthew Perry continues to baffle investigators, leaving more questions than answers.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner has completed an autopsy but is still awaiting toxicology results.

Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City, expresses surprise at the delay in determining the cause of death.

Speculation arises due to Perry's history of alcohol and drug problems, and the circumstances of his death in a hot tub.

The absence of information about the presence or absence of Vicodin and alcohol raises curiosity.

Perry's struggle with addiction and his multiple rehab stints and surgeries add to the complexity of the case.

Investigators are considering drowning, natural causes, accident, suicide, or homicide as possible causes.
