The investigation into the tragic death of beloved actor Matthew Perry is intensifying as authorities now focus on determining the origins of the ketamine found in his system.
Law enforcement agents are working to identify who supplied the drug and under what circumstances, according to a press report. Both local police and the Drug Enforcement istration (DEA) have been probing the matter for months, although the current status of their investigation remains unclear.
TMZ reported that officials have been interviewing individuals with histories of drug abuse, hoping to uncover any information that could lead them to the source of the ketamine. While these individuals might not be the direct suppliers, they could hold vital clues.
Perry died of an overdose
Perry was discovered unresponsive in the jacuzzi of his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54. Initially, his death was suspected to be due to an "apparent drowning."
However, initial autopsy reports left the cause of death as "deferred." It was later confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner on December 15, 2023, that Perry's death was due to "the acute effects of ketamine."
The "Friends" alum had undergone ketamine infusion treatment to manage his depression and anxiety days before his ing. Officials noted that the ketamine level in his system was insufficient to cause his death directly, citing the drug's half-life of 3 to 4 hours.
Friend claims he was sober before his death
Jennifer Aniston, Perry's "Friends" co-star, shared insights into his final moments, revealing that she had been in with him the morning of his death. "He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy - that's all I know," Aniston told Variety in an interview published on December 11, 2023.
Athenna Crosby, a friend who had lunch with Perry the day before his death, confirmed he was "100 percent sober." In an interview with Fox News Digital on November 2, 2023, Crosby said, "I mean, I can't know what exactly he was thinking or feeling. I can only share my experience. And, of course, he was his own person that maybe he had said, done or thought of things the day that he ed that I might never come to know."
As the investigation continues, fans and loved ones of Matthew Perry await more answers about the circumstances surrounding his untimely death.
