Revealing the Cause of Death of "Friends" Star Matthew Perry

It has been revealed that the death of "Friends" star Matthew Perry was due to the "acute effects" of his use of the narcotic substance ketamine, as announced by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office early Saturday. However, the same source explained that other factors also contributed to his death, which was described as an "accident," including "drowning," "coronary heart disease," and "effects of buprenorphine," a medication used to treat opioid addiction. Ketamine is a drug intended for medical and veterinary anesthesia, but it is sometimes misused for recreational purposes. Perry was found dead by his assistant in the jacuzzi at his home in Los Angeles on October 28.
