Fans Decorate Matthew Perry’s Gravesite With Flowers For What Would’ve Been His 55th Birthday

Matthew Perry would have turned 55 this year. However, his life was cut short due to an alleged ketamine overdose last year. The late actor was seen lying unconscious in his bathtub in his Los Angeles apartment in October 2023.

The news of Perry’s death shook Hollywood, especially his co-stars from Friends and fans. Months later, Perry’s loved ones decided to honor his posthumous birthday by visiting and decorating his grave with flowers.

Where was Matthew Perry buried?

Perry was buried at the Forest Lawn cemetery in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, shortly after passing. His closest friends and co-stars from the classic series Friends were also present and in grief. Social media was also ridden with grief as tributes began to pop up.

Months later, fans and supporters made a trip back to the gravesite where some new flower bouquets containing heartfelt notes adorned the space. “Whoever had you in their life was better off, Brave Matthew, love always and forever be missed. HUGE honest heart. Never giving up. Thanx for making us laugh, Dear FRIEND,” one of the notes reads.

Further investigations

Ever since the unfortunate incident, there have been ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding Perry’s death. The latest update named his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, as a suspect after his means of providing Perry with ketamine were exposed.

Kenneth allegedly bought over $55,000 worth of the drug with the help of others, including Jasveen Sangha, also known as the “ketamine queen,” Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, and drug broker Erik Fleming. The five-person ring illegally supplied the late film star with ketamine, which eventually led to his death.
