Officials in Los Angeles have made five arrests in connection with the accidental overdose death of actor Matthew Perry.
Perry died last October when he overdosed on ketamine, which is an anesthetic drug with psychedelic properties.Los Angeles officials said in a press conference Thursday that an investigation into the actor's death uncovered a “broad, underground criminal network” responsible for distributing large quantities of ketamine to Perry and others.
That's when he met the two doctors ultimately charged in connection with his death. “He turned to unscrupulous doctors who saw Perry as a way to make quick money,” said Milgram.She said they supplied Perry with “large amounts of ketamine in exchange for large amounts of money.” He was charged about $2,000 for a vial that cost about $12.With his addiction growing, Perry turned to street dealers to get the drug more quickly and at a cheaper price.
