An arrest was made in Southern California on Thursday in connection with the accidental overdose death of actor Matthew Perry, law enforcement sources told NBC News.

 

Perry, 54, was found face down in the heated end of a pool at his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, 2023. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office attributed his death to the acute effects of ketamine, an anesthetic with psychedelic properties.

 

Los Angeles police said in May that it was working with federal authorities to investigate the source of the ketamine Perry had consumed.

With his past, he doesn't need to have been on drugs when this happened, and there's no reason to immediately assume that. Long term abuse is something you can't really heal fully. I don't like the assumption that "he must have been high again." Maybe he was.

 

It's' like the singer of Sum 41 recently who was hospitalized with pneumonia. Dude's been sober for almost a decade, but his body is fucked. (by the way he appears to have made a recovery).

 

Your liver and your kidneys (your body's main line of defense after your skin) get so fucked that common illnesses become a big deal. Your liver will heal itself over time, but your kidneys kinda don't. When your kidneys don't work so well, it puts extra stress on the heart, which opens you up for heart failure at a younger age.

So after looking up what ketamine is, was this a prescribed medication? Or was he taking it to get high?

Ketamine has been a popular party drug for decades. In recent years, it has shown promise as an alternative treatment for depression. A growing number of clinics offer it as an infusion or injection for a wide variety of mental health problems. 

 

Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy to treat depression and anxiety, but his last session took place more than a week prior to his death. The medical examiner noted that the ketamine in Perry’s system “could not be from that infusion therapy” given its short half-life.
