JUST IN: Criminal Investigation Launched Into Matthew Perry’s Death


Well, let me tell you, the saga surrounding Matthew Perry’s passing is getting very interesting.

It’s now under investigation by the LAPD, alongside the DEA.

Even the U.S. Postal Service has gotten involved.

The medical examiner’s report confirmed that Perry did die from ketamine.

But here’s the kicker: where did he even get that ketamine?

That’s the million-dollar question and it seems like we’re all waiting for the big reveal.

LA Times reports:

How did “Friends” actor Matthew Perry get the ketamine that officials cited as his cause of his death?

That is now the subject of an investigation by Los Angeles police, with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Service.

The Los Angeles County medical examiner concluded in December that Perry died months earlier of acute effects of ketamine. But the source of the drug has not been revealed.

Officials have said little about the investigation. But law enforcement sources said officials are trying to determine whether any laws were broken in supplying the ketamine.

Here is a breakdown of what we know:

What did the medical examiner conclude?

Trace amounts of ketamine were found in Perry’s stomach, according to an autopsy performed by the Los Angeles County medical examiner. But the level found in his blood was about the same quantity as would be used during general anesthesia, his autopsy showed.

The ketamine caused cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression. Other contributing factors in the actor’s death included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid use disorder.

The autopsy report noted that Perry had no other drugs in his system and had been 19 months sober at the time of his death. There was no evidence of illicit drugs or paraphernalia at his Pacific Palisades home.

The medical examiner also noted that Perry, 54, had diabetes and suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which refers to a group of diseases that cause airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. He at one time had a two-pack-a-day cigarette habit.

The Hollywood Reporter adds:

Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, which is said to help with depression, anxiety, PTSD, drug and alcohol problems, chronic pain and more. His last session had been a week and a half before he died. According to the autopsy, “the ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy since ketamine’s half-life is three to four hours or less.”

The 17 Again star had been candid about undergoing ketamine therapy in his memoir, Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, writing, “I often thought that I was dying during that hour. Oh, I thought, this is what happens when you die. Yet I would continually sign up for this shit because it was something different, and anything different is good.”

He compared using the drug to being “hit in the head with a giant happy shovel” but noted the hangover from it was too much for him and “outweighed the shovel.”

The day of his death, Perry was found unresponsive and floating face down in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home and was given an initial screening by law enforcement. The L.A. County Medical Examiner’s office completed an autopsy at the time but listed the case as “deferred” on its site before taking it down completely and releasing the full report on Dec. 15.

And remember the odd posts Matthew Perry posted up to his death?

Here is some of our prior reporting on the strange death:

Matthew Perry’s Death Is Raising A LOT Of Questions…

I don’t want to speak ill of the dead or speak too soon after a tragic death, but the news must go on and there is a lot to report here.

As usual, I’m not drawing any conclusions because we don’t know much for sure right now, I’m just reporting what I’m seeing and I’ll let you decide.

Perhaps there is nothing more to this than a sad case of drinking + hot tubbing which ended in a fatality.

That would be bad enough.

But there’s some stuff that you have to admit is just plain strange…

MJ Truth did a good job of bringing a lot of it together:

The drowning death of Mathew Perry keeps getting weirder..

One of the last things he posted was a video of “his hands” placing 3 cranberries on a table.

The lead singer of The Cranberries Dolores O’Riordan died of an accidental drowning in 2018.

Just weird…

That is in combination with the other weird things..

1. His Last photo was in a hot tub (where he ended up drowning) 2. Batman comms 3. The Petty Mason Misspelling by Trump [RR] Perry

Let’s break all of that down….

A lot of it comes from his Instagram channel.

Let me show you.

We start with the very last photo he ever posted, which is from 6 days ago and which is him sitting in a hot tub…..presumably the very hot tub he died in.

What are the odds?

He kept referring to himself as “Mattman” and started posting a bunch of strange Batman pictures all of a sudden:
