Matthew Perry's dog Alfred will be looked after by his ex-fiancée Molly Hurwitz following his tragic death.
The Friends star was found dead in his hot tub on Oct 28 by emergency responders. Law enforcement says 911 dispatched responders at around 4:00 p.m. PST due to a report of cardiac arrest.
When they arrived on the scene, they began water rescue protocol after Matthew had seemingly drowned. At the time, it was reported that there were no illegal drugs on the scene and cops did not suspect any foul play.
Funeral plans are said to be underway after his body was released to the family. Reports have claimed that his co-star Lisa Kudrow has already confirmed her attendance to Matthew's send off.

Molly, 32, was initially linked to the actor in 2018, and the pair were engaged in November of 2020, before separating in June 2021. Since their split, Alfred has been a regular staple on Molly's Instagram.
In a post from September, she opened up about her close connection to the dog alongside a series of photos. She wrote: "Alfred is three. He is very annoying a lot of the time, but he is truly the most loving potato. He entered my life during some dark depression, and he helped get me far away from that. He is also cute as all fuck. Cheers to you, Alfredo #adoptdontshop."
The literary manager for Thruline Entertainment recently posted a moving tribute to Perry on Instagram, sharing that she and Matthew watched Friends following his difficulty in watching the show before, adding that they bonded over the humour of Chandler Bing.

While I loved him deeper than I could comprehend, he was complicated, and he caused pain like I’d never known.
"No one in my adult life has had a more profound impact on me than Matthew Langford Perry. I have tremendous gratitude for that, for everything I learned from our relationship," Molly wrote before concluding: "I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Al Anon, an invaluable resource for those who love someone struggling with this destructive disease. Matty, I feel relief that you are at peace. Sincerely, Moll-o-Rama(…fication)."
