Matthew Perry passed away unexpectedly on October 28, 2023. He was 53 years old at the time of his death. He was discovered in the hot tub of his Los Angeles-area home hours after playing pickleball. In December 2023, the official cause of death was published. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office revealed that Perry died from “acute effects of ketamine.”

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office also reported that Matthew Perry underwent ketamine infusion therapy. He was the method to treat his depression and anxiety. However, his last treatment was performed a week and a half before his death. The medical examiner also noted that the ketamine in his system could not be related to the therapy because ketamine has a half-life of three or four times, perhaps even less.

The examiner’s office further revealed that there was no evidence of alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, PCP or fentanyl in Perry’s system at the time of his death. Contributing factors to Perry’s death included drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine.
