Initial autopsy reports listed Matthew Perry’s cause of death as “deferred,” but on December 15, 2023, the County of Los Angeles Medical Examiner confirmed it was due to “the acute effects of ketamine.”

As per 'Daily Mail', harrowing new details have emerged about the final days of Matthew Perry's life, revealing that doctors and drug dealers have been charged in connection with his ketamine overdose death. The actor was reportedly injected with drugs at least 21 times in the last week of his life, with a Hollywood dealer known as the 'Ketamine Queen' among those implicated.

Investigators say a group took advantage of Matthew Perry’s addiction problems. One doctor even called him a “moron” shortly before his death on October 28 last year. Five people, including two doctors, a live-in assistant, and the alleged 'Ketamine Queen' dealer, have been arrested. They are accused of being part of a criminal network that provided Perry with the ketamine that led to his death.
