AceShowbiz - The death of "Friends" star Matthew Perry in October 2023 left fans and loved ones in mourning and seeking answers. Perry, who was found drowned in a hot tub, had high levels of ketamine in his system - a discovery that prompted a joint investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
Actress Brooke Mueller, also known as Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, has emerged as a key figure in the investigation. While Mueller and Perry were friends, meeting in rehab and reportedly forming an unexpected bond, the authorities have scrutinized her connection to Perry's death.
According to InTouch Weekly, Mueller has been questioned multiple times and has cooperated fully with investigators. Police executed a search warrant at the sober living facility where Mueller resides, confiscating an iPhone and a laptop. Despite her cooperative stance, Mueller has hired legal representation and remains tight-lipped about her role in the tragic event.
A report from People suggests that the investigation is nearing its conclusion, with charges against multiple individuals potentially on the horizon. Though it's unclear if Mueller will be among those charged, the speculation and ongoing legal processes indicate a complex situation.
Autopsy results from the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's Office revealed that Perry died from the "acute effects of ketamine" leading to cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression, resulting in accidental drowning.
These findings have intensified the search for the source of the ketamine in Perry's system, as his last known infusion was over a week prior to his death - a fact not aligning with the levels found in his blood.
Mueller's complicated history with substance abuse and her efforts towards sobriety add another layer to the investigation. An insider disclosed in InTouch that Mueller "is adamant she had nothing to do with Perry's death" and stresses her innocence while navigating the legal scrutiny.
Perry's death, initially thought to be a tragic accident, now points to broader questions about substance access and responsibility. As the investigation draws to a close, the public anticipates clarity on the circumstances of Perry's untimely demise and the potential implications for those involved, including Brooke Mueller.
