An exclusive report by TMZ has revealed that in the wake of Matthew Perry’s death, multiple federal agencies are joining forces to investigate.
According to law enforcement insiders, the DEA is now collaborating with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service to uncover the origin of the ketamine responsible for the actor’s demise. This partnership entails leveraging the postal service’s investigative expertise to examine whether Perry procured any substances through mail channels.
The postal inspectors are lending their specialized skills, such as package tracking and other mail-related investigative techniques, to assist in the ongoing probe.
Local law enforcement and the DEA have been conducting an investigation into the events surrounding MP’s death for several months. This inquiry comes after the toxicology report revealed that the actor succumbed to the acute effects of ketamine.
Despite indications that Matthew had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for mental health concerns over a week before his passing, the medical examiner concluded that the ketamine detected in his system at the time of death did not originate from the treatment. This finding raises suspicions regarding the possibility that he obtained it from a different, non-medical source.
