Matthew Perry's death investigation leads police to Hollywood drug trafficking underworld, with actor's colleague and close friend implicated

Matthew Perry's death investigation leads police to Hollywood drug trafficking underworld, with actor's colleague and close friend implicated

Page Six has published a long article about the investigation into the death of Matthew Perry. It says that the Los Angeles police have found the underworld of Hollywood drug trafficking and that many famous people are involved in the case. A press conference will be held soon to announce possible charges that the police may bring.

According to the publication, a colleague and close friend of Perry's, with whom the actor appeared on screen, is also involved in the case. There is a photo of Perry and this woman in the office of a doctor who prescribes ketamine - there are clinics in the US where ketamine is prescribed to treat severe depression and other mental disorders. An insider told InTouch magazine that if the police gain access to the woman's phone, they will find a lot of incriminating information in text messages. It should be noted that this is not about Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller, who has already been included on the list of suspects.

According to Page Six, the investigation could end with multiple counts of manslaughter, which carries a prison sentence of up to five years. However, no one will be charged with intentional murder because Perry was taking the ketamine that was illegally obtained for him.

"It's incredibly sad, I'm very sad for Matthew Perry. But the people who preyed on his weakness are the problem. I would like to see some kind of felony conviction for the people who procured drugs for him. So that the stigma stays with them for the rest of their lives," said former FBI and CIA special agent Tracy Walder.

Recall that Matthew Perry died late last year at the age of 55, drowning in a Jacuzzi due to the effects of ketamine, which he took to treat depression. Investigating the circumstances of the actor's death, the police came to the conclusion that someone could have brought him ketamine. Perry suffered from alcohol and drug addiction for many years, including during the filming of the series "Friends". The actor described the details of his life in a memoir called "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Bad Thing."
