The case is closed. Matthew Perry (✝54) played his way into the hearts of fans through the role of the charming joker Chandler Bing. But in October of last year, sad news became known: the Friends star was found lifeless in the hot tub of his home in Los Angeles. The police then investigated his death. The investigation into Matthew’s death has now been completed.
The Los Angeles Police Department has now confirmed to People that authorities have decided not to further investigate the actor’s death. And the Los Angeles County coroner’s office also confirms on its website that the investigation into the tragic death has been completed.
The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office previously released the toxicology report. According to TMZ, Matthew died from the “acute effects of ketamine.” This is a drug used for depression and anxiety. As the coroner further stated, the ketamine in Matthew’s body is said to have caused hyperstimulation of the cardiovascular system and respiratory depression.
