Matthew Perry's Death Linked to Ketamine: Autopsy Report Reveals Cause

An autopsy report reveals that actor Matthew Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, an anesthetic, and drowned in the heated end of his pool, which was deemed a secondary factor in his accidental death. Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety, but the levels of ketamine in his body were higher than expected for the treatment. The report also noted that coronary artery disease and buprenorphine, used to treat opioid use disorder, contributed to his death. Perry, known for his role in "Friends," had been open about his struggles with addiction.
