That same month, Perry’s mom Suzanne Morrison detailed her final moments with her late son.
“He went through a period, interestingly enough, just before he died when he was showing me one of his new houses,” she told Today‘s Savannah Guthrie. “He came up to me and he said, ‘I love you so much, and I’m so happy to be with you now. And I’m so…’ It was almost as though it was a premonition or something.”
And while she’ll always cherish that moment, Morrison—who shared The Whole Nine Yards star with ex-husband John Bennett Perry—believes their interaction was a chilling window into his future.
“I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, ‘How long has it been since we’ve had a conversation like that?’ It’s been years,” she recalled, before adding that “there was an inevitability to what was going to happen next to him, and he felt it very strongly.”
