A criminal investigation into the death of actor Matthew Perry has taken a new turn with reports indicating that Charlie Sheen's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, has been questioned multiple times in connection to the case. Mueller, 46, was reportedly approached by authorities at the sober living house where she resides, with a search warrant in hand. Although she was not present at the time, Mueller later cooperated with law enforcement upon her return.
According to sources, Mueller has hired legal representation and has been in discussions with investigators regarding the circumstances surrounding Perry's death. While the exact nature of her involvement remains unclear, Mueller has vehemently denied any wrongdoing in relation to the incident.
Authorities seized electronic devices from Mueller, including an iPhone and a laptop, as part of their ongoing investigation. Mueller and Perry reportedly met during their time in rehab, forming an unexpected friendship.
Los Angeles Police Department officials have confirmed that the investigation into Perry's death is still active. The actor passed away on October 28 after an apparent drowning in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles.
Concerns have been raised about the presence of ketamine in Perry's system at the time of his death. The U.S. Attorney's Office, along with other agencies, is working to determine the circumstances surrounding the actor's use of the drug. Perry had reportedly undergone ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety, but the source of the ketamine found in his system remains unknown.
The autopsy report revealed that Perry's death was attributed to the acute effects of ketamine, along with other contributing factors such as coronary artery disease and the presence of prescription medications at his residence.
As the investigation continues, details regarding Perry's final days and the events leading up to his tragic passing are being closely scrutinized by law enforcement agencies. The case has garnered significant attention, shedding light on the complexities surrounding substance use and mental health issues in the entertainment industry.
