"Autopsy Confirms Matthew Perry's Cause of Death: Ketamine Effects"

TL;DR Summary
An autopsy report reveals that actor Matthew Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing on the sitcom "Friends," died from the acute effects of ketamine and drowning in his pool was a secondary factor. Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety, but the levels of ketamine in his body were higher than expected for the treatment. The report also mentioned coronary artery disease and buprenorphine, used to treat opioid use disorder, as contributing factors. Perry had been clean for 19 months but had a history of addiction. Mixing sedative drugs in a pool alone was deemed extremely risky.
