A source told PEOPLE that Perry, 52, simply never woke up from the massive stroke.

He remained under “heavy sedation” for five days while in the hospital until he died on Monday, the source says.

“He never regained consciousness,” the source explains. “Things were so dire that they put him under heavy sedation. He was gone, basically, by the time he got to the hospital.”
