Several people arrested in the case of Matthew Perry's death

Los Angeles police have arrested several people said to be involved in the death of popular actor Matthew Perry. The authorities, for the moment, have not given more details, although a press conference is scheduled in the coming hours that will shed more light on what happened. The actor was found in the jacuzzi of his home and the autopsy determined that he lost consciousness due to excessive consumption of ketamine.

Matthew Perry, 54 years old and popular for his participation in the TV show 'Friends', consumed ketamine as part of a treatment for depression and anxiety. In fact, his doses were prescribed. However, experts determined that the amount of this substance found in his lifeless body did not conform to the quantities stipulated from a strictly medical point of view.

The medical examiner in charge of the case determined, on the other hand, that the actor had been sober for a year and a half and noted that no drugs were found in his home. Nor were any utensils or elements found in his home that could lead one to believe that Matthew Perry was still addicted to prohibited substances, although the presence of high amounts of ketamine in his body was demonstrated.

A doctor among those arrested

The police have arrested several drug dealers and a doctor. All of them were necessary figures, according to the police investigation, for the actor to receive the drug that finally caused his death, last October 28, 2023. The work of the authorities has deepened the plot of substance trafficking in Hollywood. Perry's problems with drugs, as he himself explained, began at the age of 14.

His death shocked the film industry and all his fellow actors were particularly shocked by his goodbye. Actor Matthew Perry was a very dear person for all those who shared some moment of his professional career with him and the news of his death made, and still makes, many headlines.
