In the wake of Matthew Perry’s tragic death on October 28, 2023, law enforcement agencies have made significant strides in their investigation. The beloved Friends star was found dead in his jacuzzi, with autopsy reports confirming the “acute effects of ketamine” as the cause. Recent developments have brought new information to light, sparking increased public interest and scrutiny.
Key Evidence Surrendered
According to a report by In Touch magazine, authorities have made a breakthrough with the help of a close friend of Perry who handed over a laptop and cellphone. This move is part of a broader investigation involving the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. These agencies are working together to trace the source of the ketamine found in Perry’s system, which was determined not to be from his last ketamine infusion therapy session.

Involvement of a Mystery Woman
A pivotal part of the investigation focuses on a woman living in a sober living residence. This woman, reportedly a celebrity in her own right and married to an A-list star, met Perry during rehab. They developed an unexpected friendship, and she has since been brought in for a series of interviews. Despite her cooperation, including the surrender of her iPhone and computer, she remains tight-lipped about her involvement.
An insider close to the investigation stated, “She’s hired lawyers and has had multiple meetings with law enforcement since they arrived at her sober living house with a search warrant. But the investigators must have known something to get a warrant and turn up like that.” Although her exact role in Perry’s death is still unclear, she maintains her innocence and insists she had nothing to do with it.
Emotional Turmoil
The situation has understandably left the woman in an emotional wreck. As noted by sources, the pressure and implications of the investigation could have severe impacts on her mental health, regardless of her involvement. The insider remarked, “This could send her over the edge, whether she’s involved or not.”
