Several People Believed To Being Connected to Matthew Perry’s Death

Several People Believed To Being Connected to Matthew Perry's Death
Jun 28 2024 Share

Authorities are coming to a close about the criminal investigation into the passing of Matthew Perry, and according to law enforcement sources, they believes that several people might be connected to his death.

Last May, Los Angeles police reported that they were working alongside the Drug Enforcement Administration and had an ‘open investigation’ into the source of Perry’s ketamine  overdose following his death at his own home on  October 28th.

Perry had been open about his past drug use but had reportedly been clean for 19 months, the medical examiner’s  report said. He reportedly was receiving ketamine infusion therapy to treat depression and anxiety, with his last treatment being 1½ weeks before he passed, the coroner said.

The autopsy listed drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects as contributing factors not related to the immediate cause of death. The manner of death was ruled an accident.

The coroner also stated that the levels of ketamine still in Perry’s body were high, around what is used for general anaesthesia during surgery. The coroner said it was unclear why the drug would still be in his system, because it metabolizes within hours.

This case is still under investigation by the Los Angeles Police.
