when did matthew perry die

Matthew Perry died on October 28, 2023. He was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, and was pronounced dead the same day at the age of 54. The official cause of death was due to the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning and coronary artery disease also listed as contributing factors. His death was ruled accidental. At the time, Perry had been receiving ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for anxiety, but the ketamine in his system at death was not from the recent therapy session. Several individuals have since been charged in connection with his death, including his personal assistant and doctors, as investigations revealed an illicit supply network of ketamine involved in his overdose.
