Los Angeles authorities have made a significant breakthrough in their investigation into the tragic death of actor Matthew Perry. A key arrest has been made, shedding new light on the case, according to a source familiar with the situation.
While details remain scarce, officials have announced that more information, including the identity of the arrested individual, will be revealed during a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday morning.
The Tragic Loss of Matthew Perry
Matthew Perry, beloved for his role as Chandler Bing on the iconic sitcom “Friends,” was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home.
The actor was tragically discovered floating face down in the heated section of his pool, a scene that shocked fans and the entertainment industry alike.
Autopsy Report: Ketamine’s Role in Perry’s Death
In December, the Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office released an autopsy report that identified “acute effects of ketamine” as a major factor in Perry’s death.
Ketamine, a powerful anesthetic often used in medical settings, has also gained attention for its growing use as an alternative therapy for mental health conditions like depression and anxiety. However, it is also known to be used recreationally, raising concerns about its potential for abuse.
The medical examiner’s report indicated that Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, but the ketamine found in his system during the autopsy did not match the levels expected from his last known therapy session, which occurred about ten days before his death.
The ketamine levels in his blood were equivalent to those used during general anesthesia, suggesting a significant amount was present.
Investigation Focus: Ketamine’s Source and Legality
The Los Angeles Police Department, in collaboration with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), has been investigating the source of the ketamine that contributed to Perry’s death. The investigation aims to determine whether the ketamine was obtained legally or through illegal means.
A spokesperson for the United States Postal Inspection Service also confirmed that their agency is assisting with the investigation, further emphasizing the complexity of the case.
