Matthew Perry, known for his role in Friends, passed away at 54 in October 2023. Initially thought to be accidental drowning, a months-long investigation revealed his death was caused by the use of ketamine.
Investigators working on the Mac Miller case have hinted at forthcoming revelations linking a Hollywood drug ring to Perry’s demise, with potential charges such as manslaughter to be disclosed at an upcoming press conference.

According to reports, former CIA and FBI agent Tracy Walder suggested that Perry may have shared controlled substance prescriptions with acquaintances, leading to a potential market for such substances among his circle.
Walder expressed empathy for Perry while emphasizing the legal consequences she hopes will befall those who enabled his drug use, advocating for felony charges against individuals involved in supplying him with drugs.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed in December that Perry’s passing was drug-related, listing drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine effects as contributing factors.
An expert suggested Perry may have obtained ketamine illegally for recreational purposes, despite being prescribed the drug for anxiety and depression, emphasizing that the ketamine in his system at the time of death did not originate from his therapy.
