Matthew Perry death investigation wrapping up

The investigation into Matthew Perry’s death is reportedly wrapping up soon. Law enforcement sources told People Magazine that multiple people should be charged.

The 54-year-old Perry died in a hot tub at his home in Pacific Palisades in October from acute effects of ketamine , according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner. The autopsy officially listed drowning as Perry’s cause of death, but added the actor had enough ketamine in his system to knock him out.

Perry was prescribed ketamine as a treatment for depression, but the levels found in his system were too high to be from what a doctor ordered.

The DEA and the Post Office are investigating to find out where the ketamine came from. The Los Angeles District Attorney or United States District Attorney’s Office will decide whether or not to press charges.
