MATTHEW PERRY DEATH RIDDLE!

Push to exhume actor after friend Jennifer Aniston sounds the alarm

TRAGIC Friends star Matthew Perry may have been murdered by sketchy underworld associates, say pals who are demanding officials exhume his remains because they fear the truth was buried with him!

"There's a cloud of suspicion still hanging over Matthew's death," confides a former colleague. "There are a lot of questions that remain unanswered!"

Perry's longtime Friends castmate Jennifer Aniston recently revealed she'd exchanged texts with her buddy a few hours before the 54-year-old recovering addict was found dead on Oct. 28, hugging the bottom of his backyard hot tub in Malibu! "He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy," shares Aniston, 54. "He was not in pain. He wasn't struggling." An initial investigation into Perry's sudden passing ruled out foul play - but the funnyman's official cause of death is currently listed as deferred because toxicology results from his autopsy are still pending.
