Trigger warning: substance abuse, overdose, death
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) launched a new criminal investigation into the death of Matthew Perry, who was officially found to have died from acute effects of the prescription drug ketamine after he was found lifeless on October 28, 2023, in a hot tub.
Half a year after the death of the Friends star, the LAPD, paired with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the U.S. Postal Service, are now investigating how Matthew acquired the same quantity of ketamine as would be used during general anesthesia.
