Doctor, drug dealers arrested in co<i></i>nnection to Matthew Perry’s death: report

Multiple arrests have been made following an investigation into Matthew Perry’s death, TMZ reported Thursday.

Law enforcement sources told the outlet that at least one doctor and several dealers who helped arrange and deliver ketamine to the late “Friends” star have been taken into custody.

The LAPD, DEA and US Postal Service each executed search warrants that resulted in the seizure of computers, phones and other electronic equipment to determine who supplied Perry with the illegally obtained ketamine that caused him to lose consciousness and drown in his hot tub last October.

The insiders told TMZ that the warrant revealed text messages discussing the “Whole Nine Yards” star and the ketamine he wanted as well as what they were doing to get it for him. The messages also allegedly had information on what Perry was willing to pay for it.

Reps for the agencies didn’t immediately return Pvnew’s requests for comment.

Last month, Pvnew exclusively revealed that Perry’s death was poised to expose a seedy underbelly of Hollywood drug dealing.

Former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told us that multiple people could be charged — explaining how there has been a huge explosion in drug rings using mail fraud, sending prescription medication by post, a federal offense.

Perry passed away on Oct. 28 at age 54. More than a month after he was found dead at his Malibu, Calif., home, Perry’s autopsy confirmed he died of “acute effects of ketamine.”

The autopsy report also listed drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine, a synthetic opioid, effects as other conditions that contributed to his death. The manner was listed as accidental.

The “Fools Rush In” star — who had been clean from drugs for 19 months — was on “ketamine infusion therapy” at the time of his passing, according to the report.

His last treatment occurred a week and a half before his death, which indicated the ketamine that was in his system was not delivered in a medical setting.

According to Pacific Neuroscience Institute, “Ketamine therapy is used to treat of depression, anxiety, PTSD, end-of-life distress, chronic pain, drug/alcohol problems, and more.”

In a 2002 interview with the New York Times, the actor revealed that his fear of dying led him to get clean.

“I didn’t get sober because I felt like it,” Perry said. “I got sober because I was worried I was going to die the next day.”
