Matt LeBlanc<\/strong> looks as downcast as you’d expect less than a week after losing his beloved “Friends” costar Matthew Perry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n LeBlanc ventured out Thursday afternoon in Sherman Oaks, CA … driving in his Mercedes-Benz SUV. It’s the first time we’ve seen him in public since Matthew died<\/strong> over last Saturday.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Matt’s wearing dark sunglasses and a baseball cap, and looks pretty sad … a reflection of the emotions he and his former cast mates expressed earlier this week.<\/p>\n Remember, ML and the rest of the tightknit “Friends” stars have said<\/strong> they are “utterly devastated,” and are still processing the fact they’ve lost Matthew.<\/p>\n In their statement, Jennifer Aniston<\/strong>, Courteney Cox<\/strong>, Lisa Kudrow<\/strong>, David Schwimmer<\/strong> and Matt said … “We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”<\/p>\n They added, “For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n TMZ broke the story … Matthew was found unresponsive in his hot tub, after he’d played 2 hours of pickleball on Saturday morning. Sources say there were no illicit drugs<\/strong> found at his home, though there were several Rx medications including anti-depressants and anxiety meds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As we first told you, Matthew went out to lunch with model and entertainment reporter Athenna Crosby the day before he died, and she says he was happy and vibrant.<\/p>\n Matthew’s full toxicology report could take up to 6 months to complete, though initial testing revealed he didn’t have meth or fentanyl in his system.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division is investigating Matthew’s death, but there’s no evidence of foul play — it’s standard procedure for detectives in that division to handle high-profile cases.<\/p>\n
