In the investigation surrounding the tragic death of beloved actor Matthew Perry, five individuals, including his personal assistant and two doctors, have been arrested. Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends', was open about his struggles with addiction and later became a vocal advocate for recovery. He passed away at 54 in his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023, initially believed to have drowned accidentally, though later revealed to have died from a ketamine overdose. Former FBI and CIA agent Tracy Walder had previously suggested that multiple people were responsible, and now, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada has confirmed the discovery of a network of individuals who exploited Perry’s addiction for financial gain. The defendants, accused of prioritizing profit over Perry's well-being, are now facing charges for their roles in his death.
