Investigations into Matthew Perry’s death are ongoing due to a ketamine level discovered in the actor’s blood

According to authorities on Tuesday, an inquiry into how Matthew Perry obtained the ketamine supply that killed him has been launched.
According to an email from LAPD Capt. Scot Williams, the department is investigating why the 54-year-old “Friends” actor had so much of the substance in his system in collaboration with the US substance Enforcement Administration and the US Postal Inspection Service.

On October 28, an assistant discovered the 54-year-old Perry face down in his hot tub. When paramedics arrived, they pronounced him dead at the scene. The ketamine level in his blood was within the range allowed for general anaesthesia during surgery, according to his postmortem, which was made public in December. According to the study, it was identified as the main cause of death and was determined to be an accident with no suspicion of foul play.
According to the coroner, drowning and other health problems were contributory causes.
TMZ published the initial story on the inquiry.
The coroner’s investigators were informed by the actor’s close associates that he was receiving ketamine infusion treatment. The long-used surgical medication has witnessed a sharp increase in usage recently as a pain, anxiety, and depression therapy.
Perry’s last treatment, which was 1 1/2 weeks ago, the medical examiner noted, could not account for the quantities of ketamine in his blood. Usually, the medication is metabolised in a few hours. According to the medical examiner’s findings, Perry was being treated by at least two medical professionals: an anesthesiologist who functioned as his primary care physician and a psychiatrist. At his home, no illegal substances or paraphernalia were discovered.
Perry’s battle with addiction began years ago during his tenure on the hit sitcom “Friends,” where he co-starred with Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer for ten seasons from 1994 to 2004 and rose to prominence as one of the biggest TV stars of his generation.
In other instances, drug-related celebrity deaths have prompted police to bring charges against drug suppliers.
Following rapper Mac Miller’s overdose death from cocaine, alcohol, and fake oxycodone laced with fentanyl, two of the guys who supplied him with the substance were found guilty of distributing it. One received a term of more than 17 years, while the other received a 10-year sentence.
Model and reality TV personality Anna Nicole Smith was accused in 2007 with scheming to get prescription pills from two physicians and a manager, but they were not charged with causing her deadly overdose. Eventually, all of the charges against the doctor were dropped, with the exception of one misdemeanour fraud allegation.
Additionally, Michael Jackson’s physician, Conrad Murray, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in 2011 after the singer’s death in 2009 from a fatal dosage of propofol, a medication meant solely for usage during surgery and other medical procedures rather than for the sleeplessness the singer wanted. Murray has continued to deny any wrongdoing.
