The world was shocked back in October when the former “Friends” star Matthew Perry was found dead in the hot tub at his home at the age of 54. Now, Perry’s cause of death has finally been released, and it has revealed the chilling truth behind his passing. The autopsy found that Perry’s ketamine levels were at 3,540 ng/ml in peripheral blood, and 3,271 ng/ml in central blood, a person placed under general anesthetic at a hospital would typically have a blood ketamine level of 1,000 – 6,000 ng/ml. Though Perry had been receiving ketamine infusion therapy as treatment for depression, his last session had been a week and a half before his death. While Perry had a history of emphysema, diabetes, and drug use, the medical examiner said that he was “reportedly clean for 19 months,” adding that he was a “heavy tobacco user for many years but currently not smoking.” Please join us in saying a prayer for Perry’s family and friends as they come to terms with the new developments about his death.
