Actor Luke Perry, famous for his role as Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210 has passed away, following a massive stroke a week ago.
According to reports, Perry was rushed to the hospital last Wednesday while suffering a stroke. When paramedics arrived at the residence, the actor was still conscious, but things soon turned for the worse.
In an effort to stop further brain damage, doctors placed Perry in a medically-induced coma, but after tests, it soon became apparent that the damage was irreparable.
Since his heartthrob days on 90210, Perry also starred on the show Riverdale, along with other credits. It was also announced last week that 90210 would receive a reboot from FOX, with the bulk of the original cast. Perry was not going to be a series regular due to his schedule with Riverdale, however, he was slated for guest appearances.
Perry’s rep stated,
“The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world. No further details will be released at this time.”
Celebrities and friends took to Twitter to express their condolences.
RIP Luke Perry.
