Law enforcement sources told the outlet that at least one doctor and several dealers who helped arrange and deliver ketamine to the late “Friends” star have been taken into custody.
The LAPD, DEA and US Postal Service each executed search warrants that resulted in the seizure of computers, phones and other electronic equipment to determine who supplied Perry with the illegally obtained ketamine that caused him to lose consciousness and drown in his hot tub last October.

The insiders told TMZ that the warrant revealed text messages discussing the “Whole Nine Yards” star and the ketamine he wanted as well as what they were doing to get it for him. The messages also allegedly had information on what Perry was willing to pay for it.
