In an unexpected turn of events, Mirror Group Newspapers, publishers of British tabloid The Daily Mirror, has publicly apologized to Prince Harry for unlawfully collecting private information about him. This followed a UK High Court ruling that established Prince Harry as the victim of comprehensive phone hacking executed by Mirror Group journalists. As compensation for the violation of his privacy rights, Prince Harry has been granted nearly $180,000 in damages. In a public statement made through his lawyer, Prince Harry expressed a sense of vindication and reaffirmed his commitment to fight for a free and honest press.
In a sad development that has shocked fans worldwide, the autopsy report of the late 'Friends' star, Matthew Perry, has laid out a heart-wrenching narrative of his final hours. According to the autopsy released, the beloved actor unfortunately passed away from the combined acute effects of ketamine and an incident of accidental drowning. Perry was found by his live-in assistant unresponsive in the pool of his Malibu residence.
The 30-page medical examiner's report lists the acute effects of ketamine, in conjunction with drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine effects, as the cause of Perry's demise. The report revealed exceptionally high ketamine levels in Perry's system—at around 3,200 nanograms per milliliter—which is within the range associated with anesthesia use.
Despite the disturbingly high quantity of ketamine, the substance itself is not deemed to be the direct cause of Perry's death. It is surmised the ketamine effects may have heavily compromised Perry's ability to react while he was in his swimming pool, ultimately leading to his drowning. Perry also had traces of buprenorphine—a synthetic opioid—in his system, although it remains unclear why these two substances were taken concurrently.
This unfortunate incident serves as a vivid reminder of the dangers associated with the misuse of substances such as ketamine and opioids. As investigations continue, fans worldwide mourn the loss of an immensely talented actor, brought down in the prime of his life by a tragic chain of events.
