matthew perry‘s death has been considered, publicly, an open and shut case — but, as far as authorities are concerned, they’re still investigating how he got a particular drug… to TMZ Found out.
Law enforcement sources tell us there is an ongoing investigation into where Matthews got the ketamine that caused his death — and the main questions are who provided the drug and under what circumstances.
Our sources say both local police and the DEA have been looking at this case for months, but it’s unclear where investigators are exactly.
We know they’ve already interviewed some prominent people in Hollywood.
Although our source couldn’t name names… they told us investigators have contacted and spoken to people who have a history of drug use or abuse.
We’re told those people may not necessarily be the actual source of the ketamine, but they may have information leading to the source. No arrests have been made yet.
TMZ broke the story …Matthew’s assistant found him unconscious in the hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023. First responders – who arrived at the property following a heart attack call – pronounced him dead at the scene.
While it was initially believed that Matthew had drowned, toxicology reports confirmed that Died from the acute effects of ketamine,
According to the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office, Matthews was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety more than a week before his death — but the M.E. concluded that he did not have any ketamine in his system from the treatment when he died. .
Of course, this suggests that Matt got the ketamine from another source…possibly outside of a medical setting. That’s what law enforcement is trying to ensure.
This wouldn’t be the first time federal authorities have helped investigate a drug-related celebrity death — they were involved in Mac MillerAlso the 2018 overdose – which resulted in 3 people being charged with supplying the drugs that killed the rapper.
In May 2022, stephen walter Was imprisonment for more than 17 years In jail… after taking a plea deal for supplying fentanyl-laced pills to Mack.
ryan revis get 11 years sentence as the middleman who delivered the drugs from Walter cameron petit, who then gave them to Mac. Petit’s case is still pending.
If law enforcement agencies are able to trace the source of Perry’s fatal dose of ketamine, similar charges are expected.
