In the course of the investigation into the death of former Friends star Matthew Perry by the California authorities, new interesting details have emerged. According to the police, the actor's close associates, including doctors and a personal assistant, were involved in his death. According to law enforcement officials, five people took advantage of the celebrity's drug addiction to enrich themselves.
On Thursday, August 15, the suspects were formally charged, People reports. Some of the defendants in the case admit their involvement in the distribution of a strong anesthetic, ketamine, to the artist.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said the five people knew of Matthew Perry's struggle with substance abuse, but knowingly and voluntarily supplied and injected him with a drug used as an alternative treatment for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. After the fatal day, a group of people tried to "hide" their involvement in the death.
"These defendants took advantage of Mr. Perry's addiction problems to enrich themselves," explained a judicial official.
In addition, Martin Estrada noted that police representatives found personal correspondence between the two defendants in the case, in which they discussed the profits they would receive as a result of the planned fraud.
"I wonder how much this asshole will pay. Let's find out," the messages read.
According to the information provided by US law enforcement agencies, two suspects were arrested, who were the first to admit their involvement in the case. The celebrity's assistant confessed that he had repeatedly injected Matthew Perry with ketamine, including on the day of his death, without having any special medical training. The assistant and another pair of defendants will also be brought to justice later.
It should be noted that, according to the autopsy, at the time of his death, the Friends star was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy. His death was caused by an acute effect of the substance on the body, so the incident was initially labeled as an accident. However, the US authorities later resumed the investigation into the circumstances of the tragedy, as a result of which new details began to emerge.
