How did Matthew Perry die? Law enforcement officials believe multiple people should be charged in actor's death

Eight months after the popular actor Matthew Perry passed away, a law enforcement investigative officer has now claimed that multiple people are to be charged for his death. The U.S. Attorney’s office has not yet commented on the new development.

However, Page Six reported that a law enforcement insider has claimed that the federal investigations are on the verge of wrapping up. Moreover, the decision about charging people for his death will be made then.

Matthew Perry passed away on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54. While initially his death was ruled to be an accident, the autopsy report made public in December 2023 stated that Matthew died due to the “acute effects of ketamine.” At the same time, other factors like drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine also added to the incident.

The actor is best known for the portrayal of Chandler in F.R.I.E.N.D.S., along with other movies and TV shows such as All McBeal, The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The Whole Nine Yards, and more.

Months after Perry’s passing away, the cause of his demise still continues to be in the news. Many publications like People Magazine have reported that an insider working in law enforcement has revealed that the authorities can charge multiple people for his death. While more details have not been shared, the insider stated that it is in the hands of the authorities whether to charge the people or not.

Matthew Perry was found by his assistant lying unconscious in the jacuzzi, just when the Los Angeles Police Department was called to his house.

Upon questioning, Matthew Perry’s assistant revealed that he had just been back after an intense two-hour pickleball game. The actor had requested his assistant to run an errand for him which took them another two hours to be back.

People Magazine reported that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner closed their investigation in December 2023, and disclosed the many reasons for Matthew Perry's death. The publication also stated that Perry was also undergoing ketamine infusion therapy at the time. Moreover, he also opened up about the use of ketamine in his 2022 memoir, Friends, Lover and the Big Terrible Thing.

In his memoir, Matthew Perry stated that he “did not enjoy” using it, as it felt like a “giant exhale.” He stated:

“Ketamine was a very popular street drug in the 1980s. There is a synthetic form of it now, and it's used for two reasons: to ease pain and help with depression. The drug has my name written all over it, they might as well have called it 'Matty’.”

The recent news about the law enforcement still probing into Perry’s death continues to garner reactions from the masses on the internet. However, nothing has yet been declared or announced by the authorities investigating the case.
