Police in Los Angeles have opened an investigation into the death of Hollywood actor Matthew Perry.
Perry, the star of the hit TV sitcom Friends, died in October from “acute effects of ketamine”, medical officials said at the time.
The investigation will look into how the actor obtained the anesthetic ketamine found in his system, and how he drowned, which resulted in his death.
It is unclear how far along the investigation – which was first reported on by TMZ – is or who has been interviewed as part of it.
The 54-year-old was found unresponsive in the pool of his LA home on 28 October and was later pronounced dead at the scene.
As per the police, the other contributing factors to his death, he was suffering from coronary artery disease and had effects of buprenorphine.
Perry had been receiving medically supervised ketamine treatments for depression and anxiety at the time of his death, though the report noted that his last prescribed ketamine treatment was a week and a half before his death.
At the height of his fame, Perry was battling with addiction to painkillers and alcohol and attended rehabilitation clinics on multiple occasions.
