Matthew Perry death investigation leads to multiple arrests including doctor

Perry’s death investigation sees arrests, including a doctor, as authorities trace the illegal supply of ketamine.

In a significant development in the Matthew Perry death investigation, multiple arrests have been made, including that of at least one doctor, according to TMZ. 

Law enforcement sources revealed that several agencies, including the DEA, U.S. Postal Service, and LAPD, executed search warrants, seizing electronic devices to trace the source of the ketamine that led to Perry’s death.

Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety and depression, but the ketamine found in his system at the time of his death was not prescribed and was at levels used for general anaesthesia. 

The investigation uncovered text messages detailing the illegal acquisition of ketamine, including discussions about the price Perry would pay. Authorities have arrested several dealers and one doctor involved in supplying the drug. 

The investigation also led to a search warrant for Brooke Mueller, though she has not been linked to the arrests. Perry passed away on 28 October 2023, at age 54.
