Perry's untimely death and the investigation into ketamine therapy
Perry's untimely death on October 28 last year sent shockwaves through the entertainment community and his legion of fans. The beloved actor's battle with addiction was well-documented, culminating in a heartbreaking conclusion. An autopsy report revealed that Perry succumbed to the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine, a medication for opioid use disorder, listed as contributing factors.
The investigation into Perry's death, spearheaded by the Los Angeles Police Department with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. postal inspectors, began in earnest in May. The focus on Perry's ketamine infusion therapy, which he was undergoing at the time of his death, has raised numerous questions about the circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
Perry's candid memoir, 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,' offered a glimpse into his struggles with addiction. "I wanted to share when I was safe from going into the dark side again," Perry disclosed in a 2022 cover story for 'PEOPLE.' His intention to help others by sharing his journey underscores the profound loss felt by many in the wake of his passing.
