The unexpected death of Matthew Perry, known for his role in the popular TV show Friends, has led to a serious investigation by the police.
They are looking into the reasons behind his passing and how he acquired the drugs in his body. This news has left fans and the entertainment industry stunned.
The cause of Perry's death was concluded due to the "acute effects of ketamine" last year.
The 54-year-old actor passed away in October of last year after being found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office later determined that Perry's cause of death was the "acute effects of ketamine," with accidental circumstances surrounding his passing.
Police are taking criminal investigation into Friends star Matthew Perry's deceased.
The police in Los Angeles, along with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), are now working together on a criminal investigation.
They want to find out how Matthew Perry got the drugs that were found in his body. This joint inquiry aims to uncover the truth behind his drug use.
Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety and depression, which he openly discussed in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lovers and The Big Terrible Thing.
However, the drugs detected in his system were unrelated to his most recent infusion, which took place a week and a half before his death.
The LAPD stated that they have been continuing their investigation, in collaboration with the DEA and the United States Postal Inspection Service, based on the medical examiner's findings.
The robbery-homicide division of the LAPD is leading the inquiry, though the extent of the investigation's progress remains unclear at this time.
As the investigation launches, authorities will investigate the circumstances surrounding the actor's access to the drugs that were found in his system.
The aim is to determine how he obtained them and whether any legal implications or individuals may be involved.
No arrests have been made in connection with the ongoing probe.
