Matthew Perry Cause of Death: Actor Died From ‘Ketamine Affects’
Friends actor Matthew Perry’s death at the age of 54 was attributed to the “acute effects of ketamine,” as revealed by the Los Angeles County medical examiner’s autopsy report released over a month after his demise. Perry was discovered unresponsive in his Los Angeles home’s pool on October 28. The autopsy identified drowning, coronary artery disease, and the impact of buprenorphine, a medication for opioid use disorder, as contributing factors, though not the primary cause, leading to the ruling of accidental death.
Perry, known for his history of drug addiction, had been transparent about his struggles in a memoir published the previous year, stating he had been “clean for 19 months.” The autopsy report acknowledged his past drug use and revealed he had undergone ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety, with his last session occurring 1 1/2 weeks before his death. Notably, the ketamine in his system at the time of death was inconsistent with the therapy’s half-life, prompting further investigation into the circumstances surrounding the presence of the drug.
