Too bad they don't investigate all situations like this but seems like only the rich and famous get justice.

[lovemesomepickles]

They would never do all this for a non-celebrity, it would just be "drug overdose", end of story.

[mr.giggles]

What about all the other drugs in his system??? It was the combination of drugs, not just the ketamine...

[Kay_Watermelon]

In celebrityland it's always "blame anyone but ourselves".

[TDewald]

He died after consuming drugs...his choice to take the risk. Sad for family but no less his choice.

[hollykay]

Is there proof that he was given the drug against his will? Hard to blame someone else if that isn’t the case.

[drammieone]

His choice, no one else's. It's called supply and demand. And because he was an actor, this gets the police involved. Not labeled a drug overdose like normal people?

[bruce]

This is the best way to get the message out. Nobody will notice a nobody. Sad but true.

[HandleThiSS]

Need to hold addicts accountable for their own actions. Now if he didnt know the dose was too much thats one thing but i have a feeling he knew well

[monkeytail]

Perry was wonderful as Chandler Bing. But he was also an addict. Even with all the success and all the money, he lacked the backbone to clean himself up. He is responsible for his fate, no one else is.

[tootz]

The doctors can say NO. I can't walk into a doctor's office and tell him to write me a Rx for this, this, and that. Doctors are greatly responsible.

[jacks]

So he was poisoned or loved taking drugs? Everyone knew he loved his drugs.

[JonesArlngVA]

At what point does it become a personal responsibility?
He decided to use the drugs.

[dailymeanderer]

Why if there is a mandate it takes a “high profile” case to actually prosecute? Huh?

[sunnycali]

Junkies have a high risk of dying. What’s new?

[bustownbc]

I think he bought it...he wanted it...and he chose 2 use he was here he would I made a choice

[melissad.]

But no one forced him to take it? We just going to ignore that?

[borood]

What kind of “Friends” are that? Soon as the show is over they kill you?

[marymoss]

I agree. Not only rich and famous have people who love them and are devastated when they lose them.

[desertgirl]

And this is going to make it harder for chronic pain patients
