The source of Matthew Perry's ketamine is part of an 'open investigation' into the death of the actor in October, Los Angeles police confirmed Tuesday. The Los Angeles Police Department said it is working with the Drug Enforcement Administration as part of a review of the case involving the 'Friends' star, who was 54 when authorities say he died from the acute effects of ketamine.
Perry used the anesthetic treatment for depression and anxiety, according to the report. But the levels of ketamine still in his body were high — around what is used for general anesthesia during surgery — and the coroner said it was unclear why the drug would still be in his system since it metabolizes within hours.
