Recent arrests linked to Matthew Perry's fatal drug overdose have stirred up painful emotions for his close friends. The "Friends" star died last October from an accidental overdose of ketamine.
Five individuals, including two doctors and Perry's personal assistant, were charged in connection with his death, accused of supplying the illicit drugs that led to his demise.
A source close to Perry's circle shared with PEOPLE that the arrests have "brought back a lot of feelings" and sadness that he was surrounded by enablers. They emphasized that his true friends genuinely cared for him and would have offered help if he had reached out.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada condemned the defendants, highlighting their focus on profit over Perry's well-being. Perry had been open about his struggles with addiction, having experienced multiple relapses throughout his life.
As the world remembers Perry on what would have been his 55th birthday, the recent events serve as a somber reminder of the devastating impact of addiction and the importance of seeking help.
