Following the publication of Matthew Perry’s official cause of death, fans of the Friends Star immediately shared his thoughts on the recent update.
According to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office, Perry had died from the “acute effects” of ketamine. Notably, the actor had been doing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety. The ketamine in Matthew Perry’s system was documented to cause both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.
Matthew Perry’s last ketamine infusion treatment was a week and a half before his unexpected death on October 28. There was no evidence of alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, PCP or fentanyl in Perry’s system. Contributing factors to his death include drowning, coronary artery disease and effects of buprenorphine.
Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to post about Perry’s death. “Matthew Perry turned 54,” said a fan wrote. “He dedicated his life to helping others reach a place he himself could never reach. None of these facts have changed. “Addiction is not a morality tale.”
another fan also wrote that the treatment he was giving Perry might have come too late. “Matthew Perry died from the medications that saved his life. Ugh, that makes me very sad. He finally found peace in recovery, but the damage of addiction, his body just couldn’t take it anymore.”
The fans too cleared the air about what ketamine is and what it is used for. “Just for people who don’t know that ketamine can be prescribed by a doctor for many reasons. “Just because Matthew Perry died from its effects doesn’t mean he was a drug addict.”
Matthew Perry also suffered from COPD/emphysema and diabetes before his death
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Medical Office report revealed that Matthew Perry had other medical problems at the time of his death.
The actor smoked two packs of cigarettes a day and suffered from COPD/emphysema and diabetes. While those conditions can be lethal, they are not listed as contributing factors to Perry’s death.
Although he had spoken openly about his past addictions to substances and alcohol, Perry was reported to have been clean and sober for 19 months before his death. Nor were any drugs discovered in his home on the day of his death.
Perry died in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles residence on October 28. His assistant found him hours after he returned from playing pickleball at a nearby club. Although first responders quickly arrived at the scene, Perry was originally pronounced dead from apparent drowning.
