[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Matthew Perry was reportedly in a very dark place before his death.

As we all know, the Friends star suddenly died In October after drowning in his hot tub. At the time, he was believed to be sober and healthy — but then the shock autopsy report came out, revealing his cause of death was the “acute effects of ketamine.” He’d been doing ketamine infusion therapy to treat his depression, but the medical examiner said there was WAY more in his system than there should’ve been considering his last therapy session was over a week before he died.

So, it all pointed to him doing drugs recreationally again, and now several insiders are doubling down on this — and revealing even more harrowing details about Matthew’s last months.

FWIW, the autopsy report also stated that he had been reportedly clean for 19 months at the time of this death. Regardless of what the Serving Sara lead was saying, insiders alleged he was continuing to use prescription drugs, but it wasn’t even his most troubling behavior.
