Dr. Michael Baden, in an interview with ' regarding Matthew Perry's passing, stated, "Usually the toxicology only takes a few weeks at most, but they may be intending to do more than the usual toxicological examinations," he said, adding, "Often [when there] is a great interest in a death, there's delay to do a more extensive toxicology than normal."
