Matthew perry: arrests made in connection with ketamine death Doctor and Drug Dealers in Custody
There has been a major development in the investigation into Matthew Perry‘s death. TMZ has learned that multiple arrests have been made, including that of at least one doctor.
Law enforcement sources confirm that several agencies executed search warrants, seizing computers, phones, and other electronic devices. The goal is to determine who provided Perry with the ketamine that led to his loss of consciousness and subsequent drowning in his hot tub last October.
Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety and depression. However, his last treatment occurred a week and a half before his death, indicating that the ketamine found in his system was not prescribed by a doctor.
TMZ previously reported that the level of ketamine in Perry’s system was consistent with the amount used for general anesthesia during surgery.
Sources reveal that the ketamine Perry ingested was not legally prescribed. As a result, multiple agencies, including the DEA, U.S. Postal Service, and LAPD, have been conducting a criminal investigation for months.
At least one doctor has been arrested, along with several drug dealers who facilitated the procurement and delivery of ketamine to Perry.
The search warrants uncovered text messages discussing Perry’s desire for ketamine, how it would be obtained, and the price he would pay. The texts also mention the lengths they went to secure the drug for the “Friends” actor.
In a related development, authorities obtained a search warrant for Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen’s ex, who had previously been in a treatment center with Perry. However, she has not been connected to the arrests. During the investigation, authorities also identified other celebrities involved in Hollywood’s drug scene.
TMZ originally broke the news of Perry’s death on October 28, 2023. He was 54 years old.
These arrests signal that authorities are intensifying their efforts to crack down on doctors and dealers who illegally distribute drugs. This crackdown echoes the 11-year sentence given to Ryan Reavis, the middleman who delivered fentanyl-laced drugs to Mac Miller, leading to the rapper’s death.
