Matthew Perry’s recent death has sparked an investigation into alleged drug dealing within Hollywood, with some prominent figures possibly implicated in the case of the ‘Friends’ star’s fatal ketamine overdose.
According to Page Six sources, the LAPD, along with the DEA and the US Postal Inspection Service, is preparing for a press conference to announce potential charges, including involuntary manslaughter.
While Brooke Mueller, ex-wife of Charlie Sheen, has been questioned regarding her connection to Perry, she has not been accused of any wrongdoing. Additionally, an actress, known for B-list roles, has been identified as being closely associated with Perry for many years. They even appeared together on screen and were photographed together at a doctor’s office known for prescribing ketamine.
When contacted, the doctor’s office stated they have never treated Perry and are not involved in any law enforcement inquiries at present.
Former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder commented on the situation, highlighting a rise in drug rings using mail fraud to distribute prescription medications, a federal offense.
“There could potentially be charges of involuntary manslaughter,” Walder explained. “While those involved may have known their actions were illegal, the key question will be whether they foresaw the fatal consequences of their actions.”
Walder also mentioned the prevalence of using mail services for illicit drug transactions, describing a scenario where individuals exploit legal prescriptions by selling them at exorbitant prices.
She added, “Perry could have been obtaining drugs through friends, exchanging prescriptions, or having assistants pick up medications.”
The investigation continues as authorities delve into the circumstances surrounding Perry’s tragic death and the broader implications for drug distribution networks in Hollywood.
