Law enforcement is investigating the origin of the drugs that caused Matthew Perry’s death

Despite the case being formally concluded in January, authorities are still conducting investigations into a significant aspect of Matthew Perry’s death.

Seven months have passed since the discovery of the “Friends” actor’s lifeless body in his hot tub. Nevertheless, law enforcement officials are continuing their investigation into the source of the substance that caused his demise.

Law enforcement sources have been conducting investigations for several months to determine the source of the ketamine that contributed to Perry’s death. Nevertheless, the extent of the progress made by law enforcement in the investigation remains uncertain.

Their primary inquiries revolve around the identity of the individual who supplied Perry with the substance and the specific conditions under which it was administered. In order to unravel this enigma, officials have purportedly conducted interviews with prominent individuals in Hollywood who possess a track record of drug consumption or addiction.

The relationship between these persons and Perry is ambiguous, and it is uncertain whether they were close acquaintances. However, the insiders emphasized that they may not be the definitive source of ketamine.

Investigators approached them due to their potential possession of information that could lead to the source. The extent of assistance that these Hollywood individuals will provide is uncertain, since TMZ reports that no arrests have been made thus far.

In January, The Blast reported that the police investigation into Perry’s death had been formally concluded. The Los Angeles Police Department has concluded their investigation and issued a statement confirming that the entertainer’s death has been determined to be a “accident.”

The L.A. County Medical Examiner-Coroner confirmed on their website that the Perry death case has been officially “closed.” The actor’s cause of death, as indicated by online documents, was linked to the “acute effects of ketamine.”

Perry’s death was caused by multiple circumstances, including drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine, a medicine used to treat opiate addiction. Nevertheless, the most disconcerting aspect was the presence of ketamine in his bloodstream.

Based on his death records, Perry had ketamine levels comparable to those of a hospital patient receiving general anesthesia. The drug concentrations in peripheral blood were quantified at 3,540 ng/ml, whereas in central blood they were detected at 3,271 ng/ml.

The medical examiner specified that these figures were higher above the usual range, as a patient under general anesthesia typically has a blood ketamine level between 1,000 and 6,000 ng/ml.

The contributing factors to his death were determined to be drowning and coronary artery disease. These variables were attributed to the possibility of submersion while unconscious and the worsening of the effects of ketamine on the heart.

The medical examiner found that the effects of buprenorphine are considered contributing, even though they are not poisonous, because they have an additional impact on respiration when combined with high amounts of ketamine.

Prior to his demise, Perry had been receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression. Nevertheless, the medical examiner specified that his final session took place one and a half weeks before to his demise.

The examiner emphasized that the substance had a brief half-life, lasting about three to four hours in his system. This disclosure suggests that Perry obtained his most recent supply of ketamine from a source other than his usual one, which has prompted a police investigation into the source of the drug.

In his 2022 book, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” the deceased actor candidly discussed his utilization of ketamine treatments for the first time. He acknowledged that it alleviated his pain and sadness, but admitted that it was not the optimal solution for addressing these issues.

According to The Blast, Perry’s most recent purchase of real estate, which occurred soon before his death, is now available for sale again. He acquired the Hollywood Hills mansion on May 31, 2023, for a cost of $4,995,000.

The property, located at 1479 Rising Glen Road, covers an area of 2,566 square feet on a spacious 9,622 square foot lot. The home boasts three bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a variety of luxurious amenities.

The property also features a harmonious integration of traditional architectural style with contemporary components, accentuated by expansive glass walls that enclose a sun-drenched terrace. Nevertheless, this luxurious residence is once again available for sale and is in search of a new proprietor, signifying the conclusion of the Perry’s real estate holdings.
