Some fans link LeBlanc's changes in appearance to a heavy loss – the death of his friend and "Friends" co-star Matthew Perry last October.

Zoomboola.com reminds us that Perry passed away due to an overdose of a powerful anesthetic he was taking for depression treatment. Doctors also suggest that ischemic heart disease may have contributed to his death. Recently, Perry's personal assistant took responsibility for what happened.
