Matthew Perry case: Arrests made in overdose death, TMZ reports | LiveNOW from FOX

Multiple arrests have been made in connection with the investigation into the death of "Friends" actor Matthew Perry, including a doctor, TMZ reported Thursday.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that multiple law enforcement agencies executed search warrants and seized computers, phones and other electronic equipment to determine who supplied Perry with the ketamine that caused him to lose consciousness last October and drown in his hot tub.

Perry had been getting ketamine infusion therapy for anxiety and depression, but the last therapy was a week and a half before his death, so the ketamine in his system was not doctor-prescribed.

The Department of Justice was expected to hold a news conference on Thursday afternoon to reveal details of the arrests.

Wish they investigate all drug deaths like they do a celebrity. His life is no more important than someone without money.

[hfsxgyo]

But regular people die and nothing happens

[Stevemcqueen]

So he made an adult decision and assumed the risk. I dont see a problem here.

[byronkacheris]

Always blaming someone else in celebrity drug addiction deaths

[crinklecut]

They’ll investigate the heck out of an OD if it’s a celebrity who dies. My friend’s kid died and they didn’t even try to search his phone. Only the rich can get justice apparently.

[diananicole]

A rich dope fiend dies everyone cries. Kids dropping from fentanyl daily... crickets.

[tsaffran]

did they hold a gun to his head and make him take it
I don't think so it was his choice

[rb.]

He was an adult who chose to do drugs.

[eeayquetting]

They they do this every time somebody overdoses right?😂

[DiaperDonspurs]

The guy was a drug addict his entire life and he killed himself! No one murdered him! He played Russian roulette with his own life for decades, so blaming someone else is ridiculous! Blame the entire show for covering it up, keeping him on drugs by enabling him with outrageous paychecks and part time work days, showing up high and producers continuing to make outrageous money off him, while all his "friends" "enablers" helped to cover it up.

All "Friends" did was show the world how suppliers and dealers can prolong users to keep the supply chain going while they fill their pockets with billions ....

[lknsammy]

Like going after car manufacturers were drunk drivers. He is a junkie and died

[dadachingonodell]

Might as well ruin several other peoples lives for no reason. Matthew Perry obviously knew the risks of what he was doing to himself

[Beigebunnyhunny]

They don’t find the dealers for all the overdose victims they find. Money really does make you important. Although we are born and die without it 😅

[jeanaallison]

....JUST LET HIM RIP. 😢 ❤ we all knew it wasn't "legal" therapy. But that was HIS choice. 😢

[axp]

Funny how all of this could be avoided...

By just not doing drugs.

[Danny-kiud]

A famous person OD 😱 WE HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS!

Anyone else OD 🙄

[trander]

Thought he was supposed to be "clean".

[IStoleHerFromKen]

Nostradamus predicted that one day TMZ would be considered a reliable source.

[nubwaxer]

His net worth was ~$100 million. I have no sympathy

[danielmiller]

We had two oldies in our neighborhood they didn't give a s*** about finding the dealers and those people's death
