Matthew Perry‘s drug-induced death, according to a report by InTouch.The currently unnamed woman was allegedly claiming to be sober, but was a “walking pharmacy”, a source told the publication.Photo evidence has reportedly emerged showing the woman with the Friends star at the office of a doctor who was prescribing him ketamine.According to InTouch‘s source, the two would refer each other to their respective doctors in order to obtain the drug.“If the feds had either one of their phones — especially [the second celeb’s], because she doesn’t erase her text messages — they would probably find conversations about the drug and “How can I get extra?” Like, it will not look good for the celebrity,” the source said.Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home on October 28, aged 54.

His cause of death was listed as being the result of the acute effects of the anaesthetic ketamine.“At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression,” his autopsy read.At the time of his death, Perry was receiving ketamine infusion therapy, which is said to help with depression, anxiety, PTSD and addiction problems.
