The Los Angeles Police Department has opened an investigation into the death of Matthew Perry and how the Friends actor managed to get hold of ketamine, the prescription drug ruled as the contributing factor to his death in October 2023.

A makeshift memorial for actor Matthew Perry, the wise-cracking co-star of the 1990s hit television sitcom Friends, who was found dead at his Los Angeles home October 28, is pictured on Bedford Street in Manhattan in New York City, October 30, 2023. Los Angeles homicide detectives and federal agents are investigating how Friends star Matthew Perry obtained the high dose of the powerful prescription drug ketamine that was found in his body and determined to have caused his death, police said.

"Based on the medical examiner's findings, the Los Angeles Police Department , with the assistance of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the United States Postal Inspection Service, has continued its investigation into the circumstances of Mr Perry's death," the LAPD said in a statement. Coronary artery disease, the effects of the opioid-addiction medicine buprenorphine – also detected in his system – and drowning were listed as contributing factors in his Oct 28, 2023, death.
