Perry’s mother, Suzanne Morrison, stepfather Keith Morrison and three younger sisters opened up about the aftermath of his death from the acute effects of ketamine and the justice they are hoping to get now that a trial date has been set for two of the people accused of supplying him with drugs. “I’m thrilled,” Perry’s mother said of the trial, which has been set for March 2025. “What I’m hoping, and I think the agencies that got involved in this are hoping, that people who have put themselves in the business of supplying people with the drugs that will kill them are now on notice,” Keith Morrison added. “It doesn’t matter what your professional credentials are, you are going down, baby.” Earlier this year, the DEA and LAPD opened an investigation to find who supplied Perry the drugs that led to his death.
