As the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death continues to unfold, law enforcement has claimed another celebrity, in addition to Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife, may have been involved.
In May, the LAPD initiated a criminal investigation in collaboration with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service regarding the events leading to the death of the “Friends” star on October 28, 2023, after he was discovered unresponsive in a hot tub at his Los Angeles residence.
According to The Blast‘s previous reports, the autopsy revealed that the actor died from the “acute effects of the drug Ketamine,” which he was using as part of his therapy to combat depression. However, the report confirmed that the remnants of the drug found in his system were not from his therapy treatments, based on the drug’s half-life and the timing of his last treatment.
This leaves the big question — How did Matthew Perry get the drug? A new report claims a second celebrity was involved, and the two were “walking pharmacies.”
Charlie Sheen’s Former Wife Investigated In Relation To ‘Friends’ Star’s Death
Last month, The Blast reported that law enforcement was questioning Brooke Mueller, who was once married to actor Charlie Sheen.
“They have basically been on the hunt for Matthew’s killer,” an insider told InTouch at the time, adding that a woman was brought in for questioning. “She’s a celebrity in her own right, and they met in rehab. They formed an unexpected friendship.”
“It’s tough to say or know exactly what her role is [in Perry’s death], but she’s adamant she had nothing to do with that,” the source added. “She’s hired lawyers and has had multiple meetings with law enforcement since they arrived at her sober living house with a search warrant. She’s being tight-lipped about the situation. But the investigators must have known something to get a warrant and turn up like that.”
Now, another star is being investigated.
Second Celebrity Linked To Matthew Perry’s Death Investigation
According to InTouch, a second celebrity friend of Matthew Perry’s could be involved in the “Friends” star’s death. The LAPD, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service are currently overseeing the investigation.
According to a source, this second unnamed celebrity and Perry both claimed to be sober but were actually “walking pharmacies.” They reportedly had several late-night conversations about their addictions, struggles with sobriety, and personal lives.
Additionally, there is photographic evidence of Perry and this second individual together at the office of a doctor who prescribes ketamine, which has now raised new questions. The insider who spoke with InTouch believes that the “Friends” actor and the second celebrity might have “aided” one another by referring each other to their respective doctors whenever their own drug supply ran low.
New Details Could Bring Charges Against The Unnamed Celebrity
The source added that once investigators dig deeper into Perry’s relationship with this second unknown celebrity, law enforcement could find new leads into how the actor obtained the ketamine that killed him.
“If the feds had either one of their phones — especially [the second celeb’s], because she doesn’t erase her text messages — they would probably find conversations about the drug and ‘How can I get extra?’ Like, ‘Oh, come see my doctor if you need more,’” the source told InTouch. “It will not look good for the celebrity.”
The Investigation Remains Ongoing
As The Blast previously reported, a law enforcement source said the investigation is “nearing its conclusion,” which could mean that “multiple people” might soon face charges related to Perry’s tragic passing, linked to ketamine use.
Former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told People Magazine that the suspects in Matthew Perry’s death might be charged with mail fraud.
“They’re looking at the illegal transportation of drugs across state lines to people that they have not been prescribed. Obviously, that’s a crime,” Walder told the outlet. “I think that’s probably where they started, and that’s most likely the evidence that they would use if that’s the case. Those are the charges I could see because I don’t see a homicide charge.”
Was ‘Doctor Shopping’ Involved?
The special agent also believes Perry or someone in his “inner circle” was “doctor shopping” to obtain the ketamine and that those doctors, who resided in various states, could have sent prescriptions across state lines.
“I don’t know if that’s the case, but if it’s true — that person can also be held accountable just as much as a doctor prescribing drugs across state lines, which is a federal offense,” they said.
The investigation is ongoing.
