Why It’s Not That Strange The LAPD’s Robbery Homicide Division Got Involved With Matthew Perry’s Case

Matthew Perry’s death over the weekend shocked millions of fans. The "Friends" actor reportedly drowned in a hot tub, and while there are a lot of details that we still don’t have, there is no belief that there was any foul play in the death. This makes the fact that the Robbery Homicide division of the LAPD has been investigating the death potentially curious to observers, but it seems this is far from unusual.

Alongside a report from TMZ that Perry’s system was clear of fentanyl and meth (tests for other drugs will take more time), it’s noted that it’s standard practice for members of Robbery Homicide to take the lead on any high-profile cases because of that group’s experience and manpower.
