Multiple Arrests Made in Matthew Perry Death

In the ongoing investigation into Matthew Perry's death, multiple arrests have been made, including at least one doctor and several drug dealers, as authorities seek to uncover how the actor obtained the lethal amount of ketamine found in his system. Perry, who died in his hot tub on October 28, 2023, was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety and depression, but the amount in his body suggested it was not from therapeutic use. The investigation, launched by the LAPD and DEA in May 2024, revealed text messages discussing the procurement and pricing of ketamine. A news briefing is expected to disclose federal charges against those arrested. The autopsy indicated that Perry's death was due to drowning and the acute effects of ketamine, which is often misused recreationally. This case echoes previous incidents where suppliers were prosecuted for drug-related deaths, highlighting the complexities of addiction and substance misuse in Hollywood.
