Luis Virgil Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 https://www.comingsoon.net/tv/news/1446329-matthew-perry-cause-of-death-revealed-for-friends-star Quote According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office (via Variety), Perry passed away as a result of “the acute effects of ketamine.” The death has been ruled as an accident, and the outlet notes that “drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine” — a drug that is used to treat opioid use disorder — were also contributing factors in his passing.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used medically for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. It is also used as a treatment for depression, a pain management tool, and as a recreational drug. Ketamine is a novel compound that was derived from phencyclidine in 1962 in pursuit of a safer anesthetic with fewer hallucinogenic effects. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
