Police said the suspect is a celebrity.
The actor's death became known in October 2023. His body was found in the jacuzzi of his home in Los Angeles. It is reported that the police immediately checked the house for drugs, but did not find any strong substances. When doctors arrived, they did not find any traces of violence on Perry’s body. Later it became known that the actor had ketamine in his blood. True, its level is approximately the same as during general anesthesia.
Forensic experts said the drug caused "overstimulation of the cardiovascular system and respiratory failure" and resulted in Perry's drowning. Contributing causes of his death were coronary artery disease and exposure to buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid use disorder. However, it remains a mystery how exactly the ketamine entered Matthew's body. At first, the police believed that the actor was given IV drips with this drug to overcome his alcohol addiction. But now police believe Matthew Parry may have been murdered.
The publication In Touch Weekly clarifies that the police found the woman. All that is known about her is that she is also a celebrity. Matthew met the woman at a rehabilitation center. The police had already questioned the woman several times, but this time the authorities showed up at her house with a search warrant. Her laptop and phone were confiscated. True, she cooperates with the investigation and denies her guilt.
