This morning, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have launched an investigation into the fatal dose of ketamine that led to the death of actor Matthew Perry. The 'Friends' star was discovered face down in his hot tub last October.

Matthew Perry's untimely death has shocked fans and colleagues alike. The investigation into the circumstances surrounding his passing is ongoing, and more details are expected to emerge as the authorities delve deeper into the case.

As the LAPD and DEA continue their joint efforts to uncover the origins of the ketamine involved in Perry's death, the entertainment industry mourns the loss of a talented actor whose work brought joy to millions around the world.
