Friends actor Matthew Perry died at the age of 54 due to an accidental drowning in his Los Angeles home. In an autopsy report by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office, the actor who publicly struggled with drinking and drug use for decades, died from the acute effects of ketamine, an anaesthetic with psychedelic properties. The Medical examiner's office said that drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of an opioid, buprenorphine, had contributed to his death.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/entertainment/hollywood/friends-star-matthew-perrys-cause-of-death-revealed-reports-2023-12-16-907545
