Perry's premature death and the investigation into ketamine therapy

Perry's untimely death on October 28 last year shocked the entertainment industry and his legion of fans. The popular actor's battle with addiction was widely documented and ended in a heartbreaking conclusion. An autopsy report found that Perry succumbed to the acute effects of ketamine. Contributing factors were cited as drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine, a medication for opioid use disorder.

The investigation into Perry's death began in earnest in May, conducted by the Los Angeles Police Department with assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. postal inspectors. The focus on Perry's ketamine infusion therapy, which he was undergoing at the time of his death, raises numerous questions about the circumstances that led to the tragedy.

Perry's candid memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, gave an insight into his battle with addiction. “I wanted to tell it when I was sure I wouldn't fall back to the dark side,” Perry revealed in a 2022 cover story for PEOPLE. His intention to help others by sharing his journey underscores the deep loss many feel following his death.
