“ they took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addictions to enrich themselves” - every pharmaceutical company ever

[donnahaynes]

As sad as this is, what do they expect from drug dealers? I have yet to ever hear of one who actually CARES about their users. It's always about the $$.

What a shame. I could never live with myself treating someone like that.

[lesliebarnard]

Thank you for sharing this story and especially for arresting these horrible drug traffickers and dealers.

[TamraTLC]

That's how evil druggies are. That same thing happened to my nephew and he died too.

It was very sad news about Matthew Perry, but this investigation makes me wonder if there would have been an investigation of this magnitude if it WASN'T Matthew Perry and instead another person with addiction issues?! I think not!

When regular people od, the world keeps on turning. When a rich and famous person od's, heads roll.

A 'live-in assistant'! Someone paid to care for him; entrusted with his well-being. Utterly sickening and disgusting!

[BadcreditRobert]

Yet pharmaceutical companies do the exact same thing and receive gov protection. 🤦‍♂️

[gohawks]

So, why don't they follow the trail of drugs that led to a random person's demise? They're people too, and I'm pretty sure the majority of people aren't people of means😒 Can we just help people?

Excellent description of a drug dealer.

2 MDs threw their lives away.
Unbelievable.

Perry just took off into that addiction full throttle when he first got hooked. He never truly seemed to find longevity in sobriety. What a waste.

[connieboylan]

So sad..but isn't everyone responsible for their own well being?

[derbyd]

Prince, Michael Jackson, Elvis, who else was over treated by a Dr Feelgood?

[sincitygiggles]

"A broad underground network...profiting off of Mr.Perry then caring for his well-being..."
I thought surely you're talking about the gooberment & big pharma. I was highly mistaken.

Ketamine is used in depression therapy. It has yet to be approved.

These monsters killed our daughter on July 11 this year. Fentanyl. Death penalty bc that is what they give others all day long. RIP RUTH.

[LisaFerguson-lwil]

I have never even smoked marijuana. I value my life too much to destroy it. None of us know if we have a propensity to be addicted .

Uh oh Elon, there goes your supplier.
