<p>The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner&#8217;s Office has concluded that &#8220;Friends&#8221; star Matthew Perry died on October 28 as the result of the &#8220;<a href="https://www.tmz.com/2023/12/15/matthew-perry-cause-of-death-ketamine-drowning-drugs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">acute effects of ketamine</a>,&#8221; which resulted in &#8220;cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.&#8221;</p>
<p>Despite the fact that it is <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9970333/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not FDA-approved</a> for the treatment of any psychiatric conditions, <a href="https://www.oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/ketamine/risks-benefits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ketamine infusion therapy</a> has been used to treat depression and anxiety — and according to the medical examiner&#8217;s report, <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/12/15/celebrity-news/matthew-perrys-official-cause-of-death-revealed/?_gl=1*1i15l3t*_ga*MTkzMTkwODE1Ni4xNjY3OTUyODk2*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*MTcwMjY3NjY0NS4xMzY2LjAuMTcwMjY3NjY0NS4wLjAuMA..&amp;_ga=2.177679980.838433179.1702315883-1931908156.1667952896" target="_blank" rel="noopener">entertainment site Page Six</a> noted that Perry was undergoing that particular type of therapy for treatment of depression. His last treatment, according to the Associated Press, took place about 1 1/2 weeks prior to his death.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Matthew Perry died from the acute effects of the drug ketamine, according to the results of an autopsy on the 54-year-old “Friends” actor. <a href="https://t.co/lPUBAybWGq">https://t.co/lPUBAybWGq</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The Associated Press (@AP) <a href="https://twitter.com/AP/status/1735781013190578530?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 15, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Perry&#8217;s death was ruled &#8220;accidental,&#8221; and other contributing factors listed on the autopsy report included drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine — an FDA-approved drug used for the treatment of opioid addiction.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Whole Nine Yards&#8221; actor had struggled with addiction to both alcohol and Vicodin for decades, but was reportedly clean and sober at the time of his death.</p>
<p>&#8220;Friends&#8221; costar <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/he-wasnt-struggling-jennifer-aniston-recalls-texting-matthew-perry-the-day-he-died" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jennifer Aniston</a>, in a recent interview for Variety, said that in addition to being clean and sober, Perry had been in a much better place — and had been absolutely dedicated to getting his life back on track.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know. I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty. He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy,&#8221; Aniston said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want people to know he was really healthy, and getting healthy. He was on a pursuit. He worked so hard. He really was dealt a tough one,&#8221; Aniston continued. &#8220;I miss him dearly. We all do. Boy, he made us laugh really hard … His way of speaking created a whole different world. We went with his lead, in a way. It just added something to our joy.&#8221;</p>
