Matthew Perry’s Tragic Death: Exploitation and Investigation
Los Angeles– Five people, including the actor’s assistant and two doctors, have been charged in connection with Matthew Perry’s death, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada announced Thursday. The charges stem from doctors providing Perry with large amounts of ketamine and exploiting his drug addiction for personal gain. Los Angeles police, in collaboration with federal agencies, are investigating why the 54-year-old had such high levels of surgical anesthetic in his system.
Autopsy Findings and Drug Addiction
The autopsy revealed that ketamine levels in Perry’s blood were consistent with general anesthesia, raising questions about his treatment. Perry, who struggled with drug addiction for years, was known to be receiving ketamine infusions. However, the medical examiner’s report indicated that the levels of ketamine in his blood were not explained by his recent treatment, as the drug is typically metabolized quickly.
