However, according to the toxicology report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office, Matthew Perry's death was an accident brought on by "the acute effects of ketamine."
Strong anesthetic ketamine is used as a substitute treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other difficult-to-treat mental health issues.
Perry had been "on ketamine infusion therapy" for about a week and a half before he died, according to the autopsy report. The ketamine in his system when he died could not have been from the infusion therapy, according to the report, since the drug's half-life is three to four hours or less.
