Matthew Perry’s death: Arrests made by law enforcement, reports say

• An arrest has been made as part of an investigation into the death of Matthew Perry.
• The “Friends” actor died with ketamine in his system, a coroner found.
• LAPD and the DEA are investigating how he obtained the excess ketamine.

A law enforcement agency has made an arrest in connection with the death of “Friends” actor Matthew Perry, according to multiple reports.

Perry died last October at the age of 54. An examination by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office attributed his death to “acute effects of ketamine.”

Ketamine is often used as a party drug, but it can also be used to treat mental health problems under the supervision of a doctor. Perry — who had long struggled with substance use — used ketamine therapy before his death. But the amount found by the coroner in his body was much higher, consistent with the amount used in general anesthesia during surgery.
