LOS‍ ANGELES — In a shocking revelation, a prosecutor has⁣ announced that five individuals have been indicted in‌ relation to the tragic death of Matthew Perry, ⁣who succumbed to‌ a ketamine ‍overdose last year. ‍The charged ‌individuals include the actor’s personal assistant and two medical professionals.

The‌ U.S. Attorney, Martin Estrada, ⁢made the announcement ‍on Thursday, stating that the doctors had provided‍ Perry with an excessive ‍quantity⁢ of ketamine. He even mentioned a text message⁣ where the​ doctors⁣ speculated​ about the amount the renowned “Friends” actor would be ⁢willing to‍ pay for the drug.

“These defendants exploited ‍Mr. Perry’s addiction problems‌ for their own ⁤financial⁢ gain. They were fully aware⁣ that ‍their actions were unethical,” Estrada commented.

Two of⁢ the ‍accused,⁣ including ​one of the doctors,‌ have ⁣been​ apprehended, according to Estrada.

The prosecutor revealed that the⁤ defendants had exchanged messages shortly after‍ Perry’s⁤ death, acknowledging ketamine as the cause.​ Estrada stated‌ that they attempted to conceal ⁢their role ⁣in⁣ providing Perry‌ with ⁣ketamine, a potent ​anesthetic ⁢often used for chronic pain management.

In May,⁤ the Los Angeles police ‌announced their collaboration ⁢with ‌the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal ‍Inspection Service to ‍investigate why⁢ the 54-year-old actor had ⁣such⁣ a high​ concentration of the surgical anesthetic in his system.

Perry was discovered face down in his‌ hot tub ⁤on October 28,⁤ and ‌was pronounced dead on the‍ spot by⁤ the paramedics who were called to the scene.

His autopsy report, released in December, revealed that the level of ketamine in his blood was equivalent to the ‌dosage used for⁤ general‍ anesthesia during surgery.

The⁢ use of ketamine, a drug that has been ⁢around for decades, has seen a​ significant increase in recent years as a treatment for depression, anxiety, and pain. People ​close to Perry informed the coroner’s investigators that he was undergoing ketamine ‌infusion therapy.

However, ⁣the medical⁣ examiner stated that Perry’s last treatment, which took place 1 1/2 weeks‍ prior to his death, ⁣wouldn’t account for the high levels⁢ of⁤ ketamine in ​his blood. ⁤The drug⁤ is typically ⁢metabolized within a few hours. The report also mentioned that Perry was under the⁢ care of at ⁤least two doctors, a psychiatrist and an anesthesiologist who ​was his primary care physician. No illegal drugs or paraphernalia were found‍ at his residence.

The report‌ listed ketamine as the​ primary cause of death, which was ruled an accident with no ‍suspicion​ of foul‌ play. Drowning and other medical conditions were also identified as contributing factors, according to⁣ the coroner.

Perry, who played the iconic character Chandler Bing on the hit sitcom “Friends” alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer, had a long history of battling addiction. His struggles dated back to his time on the show, which aired for ‌10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 and​ made him one of‍ the ⁤most prominent ​television stars of ⁣his generation.
