A new documentary titled "Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy" is now streaming on Peacock, exploring the actor's untimely death at age 54 and the subsequent criminal investigation. The film reveals that Perry was found in his hot tub with elevated levels of ketamine, which he used for mental health treatment. Following his passing in October 2023, multiple individuals connected to his death were arrested in August 2024, sparking continued discussions on drug abuse and accountability in Hollywood. The documentary includes insights from law enforcement and family while notably lacking contributions from Perry's "Friends" co-stars.
The doc examines what led to the 'Friends' star's shocking passing at 54 years old and the fight for justice that continues as multiple people were charged in connection with his death.
Perry, who battled drug addiction for years, was found dead in the hot tub of his Calif. home in October 2023 and medical examiners found that the actor had '3 times [the] normal amount' of ketamine in his system when he drowned.
In August 2024, five arrests were made in connection with Perry's death; these included his assistant, who administered the fatal dosage, two doctors, and two drug dealers.
The new Peacock documentary features interviews with law enforcement experts and the district attorney whose office charged the five defendants, alongside a sit down with actress Morgan Fairchild.
