Particularly Perry, known for the Frendit series, died of the “acute effects” of the prescription drug ketamine in October of last year at the age of 54. He was found drowned in the bathtub of his home.
According to the coroner, Perry received ketamine as a drip every other day for some time. The last drip reportedly took place a week and a half before his death. However, according to the coroner, the ketamine found in Perry’s body at the time of death could not have come from that treatment.
According to the doctor, the large amount of ketamine caused Perry’s circulatory system to overstimulate and respiratory depression, kertoo Los Angeles Times.
Other contributing factors to the actor’s death were drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine, a drug used to treat opioid use disorders.
