The causes of the actor’s death would have pushed the police not to close the investigation and look for the culprits
The LAPD, DEA and U.S. Postal Inspection Service are still coordinating an investigation into the death of Matthew Perry.
The investigation into the death of the Friends star, which occurred due to the acute effects of ketamine, could soon result in criminal charges. As reported by People, a law enforcement source stated that the authorities’ investigation is “close to completion” and the police believe that “more people“they should be charged.
The source added that the U.S. Attorney’s Office will decide whether to press charges. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the investigation into Perry’s death is still ongoing but provided no further information on the matter, while the DEA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
How did the Friends star die?
Perry has been found unconscious in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28 and pronounced dead at the scene. He was 54 years old. At the time, authorities said there was no indication of homicide.

In December, an autopsy report revealed Perry’s death caused by ketamine and that drowning, coronary heart disease, and buprenorphine (a drug used to treat opioid use disorder) were contributing factors.
The autopsy report also noted that Perry had been receiving ketamine infusion treatment around the time of his death, but because ketamine has a short half-life, traces of the substance in his system they could not have come from one of these treatments. Last month, the Los Angeles Police chief confirmed that the investigation into Perry’s death was never closed and is still ongoing.
