The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office has concluded that “Friends” star Matthew Perry died on October 28 as the result of the “acute effects of ketamine,” which resulted in “cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.”
Despite the fact that it is not FDA-approved for the treatment of any psychiatric conditions, ketamine infusion therapy has been used to treat depression and anxiety — and according to the medical examiner’s report, entertainment site Page Six noted that Perry was undergoing that particular type of therapy for treatment of depression. His last treatment, according to the Associated Press, took place about 1 1/2 weeks prior to his death.
