The documentary “Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy” revealed that the “Friends” actor took 27 doses of ketamine three days before his death on October 28, 2023.
Perry was found lifeless in the pool of his Los Angeles mansion. Initially, his death was attributed to an accidental overdose of medication.
However, the case prosecutor, Martin Estrada, stated that the 27 doses used did not align with medical guidelines. Perry had been using the medication to treat anxiety and depression.
Commenting on the actor’s excessive dosing, the prosecutor said that Perry’s doctors, Mark Chavez and Salvador Plasencia, were “people who should have known much better.” Both doctors lost their prescription licenses.
Five people have already been indicted in connection with the actor’s death, including Chavez and Plasencia. The documentary provides further details on the investigation. “Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy” is available on Peacock.
