There has been an important development regarding the death of Matthew Perry. Friends The actor was found drowned in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home last October, and an autopsy later found ketamine in his system. Now, it has been reported that the people who allegedly supplied Perry with the drug have been arrested several times.
TMZ He spoke with law enforcement sources who said multiple agencies had executed search warrants to find the culprits, seizing computers, phones and other electronic equipment. The evidence included text messages purportedly discussing what ketamine Perry wanted, how they would get it to him and how much he would pay for it.
Perry had been receiving medically supervised ketamine infusion therapy for his anxiety and depression, but he did not receive treatment until a week and a half before his death, indicating that the ketamine in his system was not legally prescribed by a doctor.
Actually, TMZ He notes that the level of ketamine in Perry's system was the same as that used for general anesthesia in surgery.
At least one person has been arrested following a months-long criminal investigation involving the Los Angeles Police Department, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Service, the agency announced. NBC News Law enforcement sources confirmed that at least one arrest has been made. Several drug dealers who allegedly helped arrange and deliver ketamine to Perry have also been arrested, but no names have been made public so far.
