‘Friends’ star Matthew Perry’s death ruled an accident, caused by the “acute effects of ketamine,” coroner says
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has released Matthew Perry’s cause of death.
From the coroner’s findings, which were released Friday, the “Friends” actor died as a result of “the acute effects of ketamine.”
The medical examiner’s report said that “high levels of ketamine” were found in Perry’s “postmortem blood specimens,” adding that “the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.”
The “exact method of intake” in Perry’s case is unknown.
“There were trace amounts of ketamine detected in the stomach contents,” the report stated. “He was reported to be receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety.”
