Authorities are investigating Matthew Perry's death more than six months after the 'Friends' star died at his home from the 'acute effects of ketamine.' 'LAPD has an open investigation,' officials with the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital on Tuesday. In addition, the Drug Enforcement Administration has teamed up with the LAPD to launch a criminal investigation into how Perry died, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The LAPD and DEA are investigating how Perry had so much of the drug in his system, in addition to how the 'Friends' star obtained the controlled substance, THR reported. Perry died on Oct. 28 after an apparent drowning in a hot tub at his home in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles. He was 54. 'There were trace amounts of ketamine detected in the stomach contents,' the autopsy listed. 'The exact method of intake in Mr. Perry's case is unknown.
Scott added that, following a 'rapid medical assessment,' the man was 'deceased prior to first responder arrival' and that circumstances are under investigation by the LAPD and the LA County Medical Examiner. LA County Medical Examiner's office closed their investigation in December. The case was moved on to the LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division, which is not uncommon because the agency often works with high-profile cases.
