Matthew Perry’s death at 54 in October has continued to be a topic of discussion. Most fans and celebrities have mostly been paying tribute to the deceased star in the aftermath. However, there are still those who have questions about the circumstances regarding Perry’s passing. There’s now more information on that front, as the star’s official cause of death has officially been confirmed. The actor’s passing has been attributed, in part, to the antidepressant known as ketamine. After that report was made public, it’s been pointed out that Perry previously acknowledged it in his memoir.
The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the Whole Nine Yards star’s death due to the “acute effects of ketamine” was accidental. Per Page Six, he had been clean from drugs for 19 months. However, he was apparently taking part in “ketamine infusion therapy” before he died, with his final treatment having taken place a week and a half before he died. What was pointed out, though, is that this substance only has a three to four-hour half life, meaning the substance found in the sitcom icon’s bloodstream wouldn’t have been from his last treatment. As of right now, it’s unclear just how he obtained the ketamine.
