Breaking News: Arrest Made in Matthew Perry Death Investigation
MR Singh
Law enforcement officials have made an arrest connected to the investigation into the death of Matthew Perry.
The arrest took place this morning in Southern California as part of an ongoing investigation that began after Perry's death in October 2023.
Investigators are focusing on how Perry obtained large amounts of ketamine before his passing, which is critical to understanding the circumstances surrounding his death.
The investigation involves multiple agencies, including the LAPD, DEA, and U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Perry was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home, with the autopsy revealing he died from the acute effects of ketamine, drowning, and coronary artery disease.
The level of ketamine found in his system was consistent with that used for general anesthesia, indicating it could not have been from his last therapeutic session.
Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety and spoke about his experiences with the drug in his memoir.
Federal authorities will hold a news conference later today to provide more information about the investigation and the recent arrest.
As the investigation continues, authorities are determining whether others may also be charged in connection with supplying drugs to Perry.
