Matthew Perry life is not defined by his final day . He removed the shame of addiction and helped give many a new lease on life ! I will forever remember him for the wonderful memories he has left behind ! ❤
no one can take away from his accomplishments with friends and maybe that was his downfall as he had reached his peak of success during friends and none of them have had the same level of success since just sadly matthew’s support system was not as solid as everyone thought or he was made to portray himself to the fans (he’s another human who was used as a commodity )
anxiety. depression.. hhahahahahaha but he was very rich... how in the hell you get depression. you know whats depressing.. cannot pay your rent.. or worry about making your rent or morgage on time.. depression is not having money to feed your kids. depression is to work like a donkey and see that your money is not enough for a meal.. thats depressing.. living in bervely hill like a fkn king. drive fancy cars. go to any expensive restaurant in the world is not depressinf. who cares about having or not having friends.. that is why you humble up and make new ones.. no actors friends just regular people friends.. I do not feel sorry for these bellends deluded punks. I have no apathy for people that have everything and kill themselves. let along addiction.. FFS... you can hire a personal chef and eat very well.. get a trainer.. etc.etc.. I ill never get these people...
People think if you have looks, money, etc. you should have no problems. Depression is not prejudice. You never know what inner demons another person has.

As someone who has received ketamine infusions for chronic pain for many years my best guess is that Perry may have suffered a sudden drop in blood pressure, causing him to faint and end up face down in the water. Its doubtful the ketamine or subsequent prescriptions had much to do with his passing. The really unfortunate thing is that he was alone when this happened and could probably have been avoided if someone was there to pull him out of the water.
He had infusions a week ago but they found traces of ketamine in his stomach. His levels were about the middle range they give for anesthesia. Plus he mixed it with buprenorphine, which can also cause drowsiness.
@@inneybaby2506 Yes but only trace amounts were found in his stomach which is normal for an infusion therapy. Perry's blood was apparently found to have excessive ketamine levels which I just don't understand because after infusions you're good to go after a good night's sleep. I was back at work within a day. If his doctor was giving him an extra Rx for ketamine then that's on the doctor. They should have known better than to give such an Rx to a recovered addict with liver and bowel issues.
@@annmarieknapp Considering Perry already had heart disease he would naturally have high blood pressure. That's why my hypothesis is that it was a blood pressure event. People fail to realize how much your BP can affect your health. But, I could very well be wrong, which is why it's just an hypothesis. We are only getting dribs and drabs from the coroner's office on the autopsy notes so people will keep speculating and getting it wrong. But I don't believe he was using drugs recreationally. He'd worked so hard to maintain sobriety and lived with a sober housemate. That would have negated all his hard work.
"Some will die so others may live by their example." What one recovering alcoholic told me when I was grieving over the loss of my alcoholic loved one.
Poor Matthew, at least he has no more demons to fight, he was always afraid of not being funny, when he was hilarious and gave me so much laughter and joy. RIP Matthew and thank you.
Not my dearest. Yes I seen him on friends but I don't know him in real life. He could have been a pos. Just because someone passed that don't mean that they were a great person
I love the fact that at the end he was most proud of speaking about his struggles in order to help others. Not fame or any other huge accomplishments, but just helping fellow sufferers. ❤
Exactly. He was just floating along and then he was out. When it's time to go, I guess that's the way to do it, although I don't think he wanted to die.
@@utubefreshie when people are in late-stage cancer, their caretakers get liquid morphine to place under their tongue, to ease the struggle & ease the pain. So he died like a late-stage terminal cancer victim, only in a hottub & no cancer......
Ketamine has been approved for depression in people who are resistant to other medications. It is supposed to be administered by a health care professional. The person is monitored throughout the process for a few hours. If they are OK, they are let to resume their day. It is either by infusion or by taking it in pill form but not both. This is so sad. Ketamine in and of itself would not of killed Matthew if he was taking it as instructed. He probably liked the way it was making him feel and decided to self medicate with it. He then got into a hot tub and was not able to stay conscious. It would be like falling asleep in a bathtub and not waking up. A sad, tragic way to die.
It's tragic that we lost him, but I hope he went peacefully, I had a friend almost drown trying to save a woman, he said after the fear, it was a very pleasant feeling, I hope Matthew felt that. Watching friends will never be the same, I will watch with great fondness of him. Always missed ❤❤❤
that high level is definitely an OD, not clinically administered. They need to look into where he got that (i'm betting a "celebrity" doctor.) That plus his other health issues did kill him, meaning someone was the source of the ketamine. That depressed his breathing enough to kil him and I'd be pissed off if I were his parents.
Unfortunately, when these drugs are prescribed by a doctor, many addicts try to rationalize their at home use as "also prescribed by a doctor", but as Dr Gupta points out - the K in his stomach was not related to the prescribed infusion he was receiving medically. So very sad that this happened. I feel so bad for the assistant who had to find him this way too - very traumatic! Please if anyone is reading this and knows they have an addiction - you cannot do it on your own.. please get help! Each day you wait, thinking tomorrow you will quit, tomorrow you will stop, is just putting your recovery off. You have to stop now, you have to ask for help, drugs are stronger than our willpower when they take hold, so it will always lie to you, causing you to stay getting high.. you know this. seek help now.
My Condolences for his family and friends there are no accidents in life, he tried so hard to removed shame and guilt he lived a life of humor and love, and that's what to remember him by.
This is SO SAD 😢 It breaks my heart💔 to hear this. So many people that are suffering from DEPRESSION & ANXIETY.😔 PLEASE be kind to one another. You never know what a person is dealing with... RIP Mathew Perry😢🙏🏽🙏🏽
It’s such a painful disease to deal with because often times you do look good- working- functioning but then you get home and fall apart. If you have a loved one who tells you they suffer w depression and or anxiety, remember to call on them especially during the holidays. Calling someone and telling them you care about them is the best gift. Thank you ⭐️
A poor person dies from taking drugs, and everyone turns up their nose and thinks, "Good riddance to a drain on society.". Someone we all watched on television dies from drugs and it's a national tragedy. Where's the outpouring of compassion from national news commentators when a regular nobody dies from drugs?
Don't put anyone on a pedestal especially so called celebrities. Or using the term GOAT to describe peeps as well. You are best to just be an unknown, good to the world and those around you. FAME has taken many a good person and made them into a menace to those around them.
I hardly keep up on the news so I am just learning of his death in DECEMBER. I am so shocked and sad. He was such a joy to watch as a performer, and knowing he helped so many people just makes it even more sad he's gone :(
For weeks it was all consolations, now the truth be told .I feel bad when anyone loses life. But when you do it to yourself, my empathy goes out the window. Call it what it is SELFISHNESS.
Let's just stop wasting all the media time once again with all this reporting for a drug addict. Time for every news channel to make 5+ videos again and flood TH-cam with the report, "Drug addict took drugs and died from his choices."
Wow - aren’t you a fountain of empathy. Quit it. Perry Family - we all enjoyed watching your Matthew. Thank you for sharing him with us. All our condolences.✌🏽
If it had an “an-aesthetic type effect”, it sounds like he could have basically grown too relaxed/weak or even passed out from the warm waters of the hot tub. Epic tragedy.
He had digested (illegally) twice the amount people get during surgery. The water could have been ice cold or luke warm, he would have drowned whatever temperature.
Yeah where does that leave us poor people?! How can one be depressed when it seems you have everything? Do a stint with the peace corps in poor countries and maybe it will give them a better perspective of their lives. A change of scenery, they have the money to do it.
@@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphinI liked when phoebe and Rachel called him to come over and he jumped as he moved towards them for a hug. He had a great range. Am I, am I, am I out of my mind losing my senses
Ketamine is awful! Someone gave it to me at a house party in my college years and I sunk into a black hole. I have no idea what happened. It was horrible the worst feeling ever! You have no control.
Ketamine infusion therapy - but his last medically supervised infusion had been 10 days before. So he was still using drugs. He may have been using them to alleviate depression, but that's kinda why people use drugs - in order to feel not so bad for a while. Just because he wasn't "partying" doesn't mean he wasn't using drugs - and that's what killed him. Because if he hadn't been taking drugs, he probably wouldn't have nodded off and drowned. And it's not some sort of moral failure. Its not about judgment, but an acknowledgment of what happened, and not trying to white wash it. Addicts and alcoholics relapse all the time.
Poor Matthew. Mental illness is a terrible disease. Really awful he had to suffer this way. Rest in peace Matthew you will be sorely missed. You were such a bright light and the world is a little darker without you in it.
His Friends friends worried about him. Now they want to preserve his legacy (image). Good on Matthew that with his memoir he created his own legacy. So sad it's the old story of "Tears of Clown", when there's no one around. R.I.P., Matthew Perry.
Love you Matthew thank you for all your joy you brought to the world you made I laugh and you will never be forgotten rest in peace I know that God holds you in his arms you are a beautiful person and you have a beautiful soul love you you will be missed but never forgotten
@@lawrenceleverton7426 He never lied. He never held himself up as some sort of example. Even with his passing he still helped others. Something you will never be able to say.
Its called self inflicted harm. Lets hope he didn't propagate. Helping others by being a drug addict. Yepper that's being a mentor to the world. I don't even know the guy nor care too for that matter. All he did from my perspective is cause pain to his friends and family. And his so called fans. Selfish to the core. Best quality for helping others. NOTTT, But I have compassion and no one should go out like this. Disappointment to all concerned. @@bobbyray7558
Ketamine treatment is great, you get a tiny amount, and it's out of your body in an hour. He had digested illegally bought drugs, and ate twice as much as the hospital would give a patient during surgery. This had nothing to do with ketamin treatments. He was a grown man who knew very well he might overdose.
Buprenorphine is technically an opioid, yes, but it is prescribed to block the withdrawal effects of much more potent opioids. It does not make a serious opiate user feel stoned. It only negates the sickness of withdrawal. Those who are on it are required to give regular urine samples to show that they are not still taking potent opiates. Perry had probably been taking it for many years as a treatment. To refer to it only as an opioid is to suggest Perry was still using.
I'm not sure what you think I was assuming. I very much doubt that Perry was taking it for pain. Is it prescribed for back pain? I know it is a coveted street drug as well, which explains the "observes" at the pharmacy.@@ajbyname
That drug he said was an opioid is suboxone. Which is used in recovery to help the person not use. I feel like he should have explained that instead of just saying it’s an opiate like he’s using fentanyl or oxy or something.
yeah, Perry was clearly still an addict, he took this drug without supervision and then went into the hot tube, which was a terrible idea. He said he is free of the addiction in his book etc but it was clearly a lie. no doctor would give this dose to his patient, and as Doctor Gupta here said, who read the autopsy report, this was a separate dose from what Matthew received as a part of his therapy, so he clearly received it in some illegal ways and took it. sorry, but it's stupid behavior.
@@Katchi_ the evidence is there now on the autopsy he took additional drug that he knew was risky and did it anyway. Sometimes when your desperate for relief, you make poor judgments 🤷🏼♀️
I almost died from that same drug. Doctor told me not to use it ever again. In my case it was anesthesia. Very dangerous drug the doctor told me that I lost consciousness during surgery.
Unfortunately I think we all knew it was going to be substance abuse related . You could tell in interviews that he was not sober as much as he was trying to sell it. I thought him speaking like his tongue was so heavy was from alcohol or maybe benzos but I never thought about ketamine
I don’t understand. They said that he died due to acute effects of ketamine and that he was receiving ketamine infusions. Then a minute later, the doctor says that his last infusion was a week and a half ago and that would factor very little to his death. He also says that he doesn’t know the route in which he was taking ketamine. Well, infusions are Intravenous, meaning they go straight into your vein through an IV. I am more confused as to what happened than I was before watching the video.
He means Perry took it outside of therapy close to the time he died. He may have self-injected himself. By itself, he wouldn't have died except for he was in the pool, it made him lethargic, unconscious & he slipped under the water & drowned.
Wonderful people don't do drugs. Because they don't want those who love them to feel much pain when they punch their ticket. Call it what it is. Selfishness.
💯!!! I’ve actually had Ketamine infusions for my lifelong depression when I became treatment resistant after suffering another series of traumas. It wasn’t a miracle worker but it gave me a jolt of hope which I desperately needed. I was finally able to sleep a full 8 hours, began to experience joyful moments again and felt life was worth living again. I had come very close to ending it all just a couple months before. So I’m grateful a close friend suggested it to me based off her experience with aKetamine clinic on the east coast for her treatment of severel anxiety, insomnia and panick attacks.
@@CaliCarolynI’m so glad it worked for you, and glad you didn’t make that final decision. I’m experiencing joy again too. It’s amazing after a lifetime of depression and anxiety.
One of the three times I tried cocaine in my early college years, Somebody at a party gave me ketamine instead. It was a horrible feeling and yes, it was like a black hole.
Zero excuses. He had all the money and time in the world to turn this around. The rest of us have to bust our ass to work for a living with unaffordable health care. Tired of these spoiled privileged people getting a hall pass from the public just cause they are a "Star".......
Just because they're rich and famous doesn't mean they can deal with their problems any better than regular people but they do have more access to help I guess
Ketamine is used to treat depression and anxiety. But he must've done it in a different way that was too much. "Trace amounts of ketamine were found in Perry's stomach, but the coroner said high levels of the drug were found in his blood: 3.54 micrograms per milliliter. These levels led the Medical Examiner's Office to conclude that Perry's cause of death was not from his prior infusion therapy -the drug's half-life is just 3 to 4 hours- but rather ketamine that was taken in another manner. How that happened, the autopsy report said, is unknown. "
With all his resources to combat his condition, it just goes to show how difficult it is to face down depression and anxiety coupled with self medicating. Most drugs are a bandaid not a cure. They bring a temporary respite from our troubles, but not a path to recovery. Chandler was such a great character that Matt Perry played to perfection. In a way his character was haunted by insecurities and that’s what made him relatable. It’s something that everyone struggles with and responds to differently.
I've been addicted to drugs for almost a year. I was in a workplace environment that was toxic. Do you know how there are bullies in school? They grow up and become cruel to their employees and coworkers. The obvious choice is to find a new job, and I eventually did, but I'm still a drug addict. Sometimes I think I should have just quit earlier without having a new job lined up. It would have been a hasty career move, but I wouldn't have had to deal with chronic anxiety and insomnia, which led to my addiction. You can go out of your way to help people and comfort them, or you can do the opposite. Please be kind to people.
Depending on his tolerance and WHERE he sourced the ketamine, it may have been a "hot shot." Street drugs are notoriously inconsistent when it comes to dosing. I'm prescribed ketamine in the form of a nasal spray for emergency pain episodes (I suffered a permanent, disabling pelvic injury during the emergency delivery of our 2nd daughter) and if used therapeutically, it CAN put you in a dream-like state since it acts as a dissociative. NEVER do these drugs recreationally, WHILE you are in a tub, pool, spa, etc. It's how A LOT of people die. I'm inclined to think he got a hot street dose. He was familiar with ketamine, so a sudden overdose on accident just doesn't seem likely.
Me too. I think his neighbour killed him th-cam.com/video/T4dBvTBtpk8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=onbJ4ayNbdZCjxag 3:38... He's chewing gum, seems nonchalant, right??
I remember getting pancreatitis and they had to move me from my town to Pensacola because they were filled up with patients due to covid. The ambulance people cannot give pain meds to you like they did before such as opiods like morphine or anything. They gave me a shot before I left but it was going to wear off before I could arrive. OTW the ambulance guy told me this but that he could give me ketamine and when I asked "wth is ketamine" he told me it was the future of pain control because it disassoiciates the pain from the mind. Now I had my teen and 20s during the late 90s and early 2000's when the rave scene was strong and partied using E and Acid. I knew exactly what was happening to me when he gave it to me. It basically makes you trip and I laid there and could see the highway just through the top of the rear door windows of ambulance. I just laid there and hallucinated for about an hour. I did not feel pain unless my mind just focused in on it which was hard to do so I just let myself trip. Now I did not mind tripping in my youth when I could dance and enjoy it but I sure as hell did not enjoy it while lyind there in the back of a dam ambulance. I told them I never wanted that given to me again.
I was an assistant to a big Academy award winning actor, and I knew everything he used to drink or get high. I can't understand how his assistant didn't know he was still using, since that is what she is saying. Just saying . . .
If you are trying to be sober, you go to meetings, maybe therapy, but you completely abstain because, you are an addict. It's the 12 step, with fellowship constantly there to help you, a sponsor, and again, not using, at all.
Mr Perry seems to be the very definition of a G♥️♥️D GUY… Talented, Genuine, Smart and very much loved by those who were close to him and adored by the fans… Even with his personal issues/struggles he still managed to use his “dark” situation to spread light and hope to others..!!!

All it takes is convincing yourself not to let it affect you. Find natural means to overcome the melancholy. Not some drug induced way of life.

Yet you show no compassion for him. Can you say hypocrite?
@@seattlewa8500 How do you know I show no compassion? I said nothing about Perry. I just pointed out a double standard and you made an assumption.
Thank you. Spent millions on his journey??
Don't put anyone on a pedestal especially so called celebrities. Or using the term GOAT to describe peeps as well. You are best to just be an unknown, good to the world and those around you. FAME has taken many a good person and made them into a menace to those around them.
I hardly keep up on the news so I am just learning of his death in DECEMBER. I am so shocked and sad. He was such a joy to watch as a performer, and knowing he helped so many people just makes it even more sad he's gone :(
Let's not trash Matthew P. His family doesn't need that.
For weeks it was all consolations, now the truth be told .I feel bad when anyone loses life. But when you do it to yourself, my empathy goes out the window. Call it what it is SELFISHNESS.
You don't know what you are talking about. "when you do it to yourself" !!?? You have embarrassed yourself.@@lawrenceleverton7426
He doesnt have a family. If he had a family. He wouldnt be depressed and his family at home would help him. He died alone.
Let's just stop wasting all the media time once again with all this reporting for a drug addict. Time for every news channel to make 5+ videos again and flood TH-cam with the report, "Drug addict took drugs and died from his choices."
Wow - aren’t you a fountain of empathy. Quit it. Perry Family - we all enjoyed watching your Matthew. Thank you for sharing him with us. All our condolences.✌🏽
If it had an “an-aesthetic type effect”, it sounds like he could have basically grown too relaxed/weak or even passed out from the warm waters of the hot tub. Epic tragedy.
He had digested (illegally) twice the amount people get during surgery. The water could have been ice cold or luke warm, he would have drowned whatever temperature.
He got high passed out in a pool and drowned...do your drugs on a couch not in a pool folks
If millionaires suffer so much from depression, imagine the state of people that live with minimum wage
he wasnt depressed
We can tough it out. We are not weaklings. We are not selfish to our loved ones.
Thank you! What about those rural met addicts..
@@Wanderlust1972How do you know he wasn't depressed? There's plenty of evidence that he was.
Yeah where does that leave us poor people?! How can one be depressed when it seems you have everything? Do a stint with the peace corps in poor countries and maybe it will give them a better perspective of their lives. A change of scenery, they have the money to do it.
Let him R.I.P....🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nope, other addicts are still alive and this could save them, don't abuse any drugs
Thats sad..He was the best actor on Friends…Blessings to his family& Friends….
nah, he wasn't the best actor on Friends. David Schwimmer was, period.
@@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphin Band Of Brothers proofed that for me.
Jennifer Aniston in tight sweater was better actor on show?
Ceskoslovenska.
@@NaticzkaKaminskaHenryDolphinI liked when phoebe and Rachel called him to come over and he jumped as he moved towards them for a hug. He had a great range. Am I, am I, am I out of my mind losing my senses
That was some kind of friend huh. Causing pain to all you knew.
So basically he fell asleep from drug use and went underwater and was so out of it he didn't notice.
Pretty much!
Too bad someone else's life was traumatized fishing him out. Another victim of his selfishness.
Ketamine is awful! Someone gave it to me at a house party in my college years and I sunk into a black hole. I have no idea what happened. It was horrible the worst feeling ever! You have no control.
The K Hole
@@HH-gv8mxThat's probably why some people like it, no control, never tried but am sure i wouldn't like that shit
Ketamine infusion therapy - but his last medically supervised infusion had been 10 days before. So he was still using drugs. He may have been using them to alleviate depression, but that's kinda why people use drugs - in order to feel not so bad for a while. Just because he wasn't "partying" doesn't mean he wasn't using drugs - and that's what killed him. Because if he hadn't been taking drugs, he probably wouldn't have nodded off and drowned.
And it's not some sort of moral failure. Its not about judgment, but an acknowledgment of what happened, and not trying to white wash it. Addicts and alcoholics relapse all the time.
So he was a drug addict who overdosed. Period. Why did they spend almost 6 minutes beating around that fact?
no proof of any friend commenting that
is this religion and old barrio friend
What a sham... He was using again... He did not escape the monster of addiction... And it killed him...
Matthew Perry was very brave, he never gave up to fight his addictions. It's a terrible disease.
Rip Matthew.
Poor Matthew. Mental illness is a terrible disease. Really awful he had to suffer this way. Rest in peace Matthew you will be sorely missed. You were such a bright light and the world is a little darker without you in it.
He was not mentally ill though. He was heavily addicted and depressed.
Depression is not mental ilness? @@jesterday2222
He was texting Jennifer. He was healthy and happy. We can say anything on a text. Texts can be distancing. Sad ending.
His Friends friends worried about him. Now they want to preserve his legacy (image). Good on Matthew that with his memoir he created his own legacy. So sad it's the old story of "Tears of Clown", when there's no one around. R.I.P., Matthew Perry.
Drugs upon drugs. He never stood a chance.
Love you Matthew thank you for all your joy you brought to the world you made I laugh and you will never be forgotten rest in peace I know that God holds you in his arms you are a beautiful person and you have a beautiful soul love you you will be missed but never forgotten
It’s sad because this guy helped a lot of his friends get off drugs and alcohol.
He helped strangers, as well. From what I read, he turned no one away that came to him with drug and or alcohol addictions.
So he bullchitted them, all the while doing drugs himself. Oh look at me kinda crap.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 He never lied. He never held himself up as some sort of example. Even with his passing he still helped others. Something you will never be able to say.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 If you think this is anything less than murder, you are unfit to be called an intelligent being.
Its called self inflicted harm. Lets hope he didn't propagate. Helping others by being a drug addict. Yepper that's being a mentor to the world. I don't even know the guy nor care too for that matter. All he did from my perspective is cause pain to his friends and family. And his so called fans. Selfish to the core. Best quality for helping others. NOTTT, But I have compassion and no one should go out like this. Disappointment to all concerned. @@bobbyray7558
I'm glad the guy with the actual medical degree corrected that uneducated female reporter. Facts are important.
What I trying to say is that was not a double faced addict. So his contribution in helping others is intact. God bless his soul.
Is it?
Ketamine and a hot tub/pool. Wine in a hot tub is lethal too.
Matthew Perry's works have accompanied many of us in our youth. Let us remember this great actor😭😭
I still can’t believe it.
That's probably because it's likely fake news. It was an Illuminati sacrifice. Very tragic...
Considering how popular those kinds of treatments are in LA, I'm not surprised.
it was not the treatment that killed him ffs, your comprehension is terrible
Did you watch the full report? He used prescription infusions a week prior, this time it was personal use.
Tim Ballard used Ketamine to talk to Jesus or Moroni. So.... it is what you want it to be.
Ketamine treatment is great, you get a tiny amount, and it's out of your body in an hour. He had digested illegally bought drugs, and ate twice as much as the hospital would give a patient during surgery. This had nothing to do with ketamin treatments. He was a grown man who knew very well he might overdose.
But he was clean for years...🙄
Addiction never sleeps.
he never did drugs youtb
his goal nose books
Buprenorphine is technically an opioid, yes, but it is prescribed to block the withdrawal effects of much more potent opioids. It does not make a serious opiate user feel stoned. It only negates the sickness of withdrawal. Those who are on it are required to give regular urine samples to show that they are not still taking potent opiates. Perry had probably been taking it for many years as a treatment. To refer to it only as an opioid is to suggest Perry was still using.
It can also be prescribed as a pain killer! Don't assume! 🙄
I'm not sure what you think I was assuming. I very much doubt that Perry was taking it for pain. Is it prescribed for back pain? I know it is a coveted street drug as well, which explains the "observes" at the pharmacy.@@ajbyname
That drug he said was an opioid is suboxone. Which is used in recovery to help the person not use. I feel like he should have explained that instead of just saying it’s an opiate like he’s using fentanyl or oxy or something.
Matthew Perry's works have accompanied many of us in our youth. Let us remember this great actor😭😭
Not all buprenorphine is Suboxone and it's not only used in recovery.
Sad indeed 😔
Well, it’s still sad to know that he died of an addiction problem, rest in peace, Matthew. ❤️ 🙏
Ketamine? It’s a highly regulated drug, only anesthesiologist are licensed to administer it. It’s very carefully titrated based on body weight.
yeah, Perry was clearly still an addict, he took this drug without supervision and then went into the hot tube, which was a terrible idea. He said he is free of the addiction in his book etc but it was clearly a lie. no doctor would give this dose to his patient, and as Doctor Gupta here said, who read the autopsy report, this was a separate dose from what Matthew received as a part of his therapy, so he clearly received it in some illegal ways and took it. sorry, but it's stupid behavior.
You're wrong.
@@Katchi_ the evidence is there now on the autopsy he took additional drug that he knew was risky and did it anyway. Sometimes when your desperate for relief, you make poor judgments 🤷🏼♀️
@@islandbirdw Easiest way to catch a liar.... Tell them and watch them dance around the lie.
@@Katchi_what? He did have ketamine right? Whose lying?
I almost died from that same drug. Doctor told me not to use it ever again. In my case it was anesthesia. Very dangerous drug the doctor told me that I lost consciousness during surgery.
They kindly said he overdosed, just call it like it is. Overdosed and passed out and drowned.
Drug addict OD’d. Stop dancing around it.
Unfortunately I think we all knew it was going to be substance abuse related . You could tell in interviews that he was not sober as much as he was trying to sell it. I thought him speaking like his tongue was so heavy was from alcohol or maybe benzos but I never thought about ketamine
I don’t understand. They said that he died due to acute effects of ketamine and that he was receiving ketamine infusions. Then a minute later, the doctor says that his last infusion was a week and a half ago and that would factor very little to his death. He also says that he doesn’t know the route in which he was taking ketamine. Well, infusions are Intravenous, meaning they go straight into your vein through an IV.
I am more confused as to what happened than I was before watching the video.
He means Perry took it outside of therapy close to the time he died. He may have self-injected himself. By itself, he wouldn't have died except for he was in the pool, it made him lethargic, unconscious & he slipped under the water & drowned.
He took a boatload of it, enough to anesthetize a patient for surgery. It was found in his stomach. He killed himself. No question about it.
@@travelnomad2128 That makes so much more sense. Thanks for your reply. 🙂
Please leave him at peace,he was a wonderful person,and just like me not born for such a cruel world we live in. You'll never be forgotten Matthew
Wonderful people don't do drugs. Because they don't want those who love them to feel much pain when they punch their ticket. Call it what it is. Selfishness.
@@lawrenceleverton7426 STFU,ok? He didn't take anything for the sake of it,just STFU.
💯!!! I’ve actually had Ketamine infusions for my lifelong depression when I became treatment resistant after suffering another series of traumas. It wasn’t a miracle worker but it gave me a jolt of hope which I desperately needed. I was finally able to sleep a full 8 hours, began to experience joyful moments again and felt life was worth living again. I had come very close to ending it all just a couple months before. So I’m grateful a close friend suggested it to me based off her experience with aKetamine clinic on the east coast for her treatment of severel anxiety, insomnia and panick attacks.
@@lawrenceleverton7426Wonderful people don’t judge others so harshly without having ever experienced that kind of internal pain.
@@CaliCarolynI’m so glad it worked for you, and glad you didn’t make that final decision. I’m experiencing joy again too. It’s amazing after a lifetime of depression and anxiety.
Poor him. Multi millionaire that had a job he loved. So sorry, so sad. Whatever. A drug addict and alcoholic that took himself out.
exactly, thank you!
Don't be mean . EVERYBODY SUFFERS.
@@ce311
Some suffer more than others. He wasn't suffering that bad. Had a good life he threw away. I've seen better men go at not their choosing.
May Mathew Perry rest in peace. So sad and tragic .
He got high and died. It's the dice you roll every time you make this choice. Be warned.
A Jacuzzi is a dangerous place to fall into a K hole
One of the three times I tried cocaine in my early college years, Somebody at a party gave me ketamine instead. It was a horrible feeling and yes, it was like a black hole.
@@HH-gv8mx it must make you feel like drowning into the pool or jacuzzi is a good idea, because of the melting into your bed sensation
Yeah, that’s why it’s a really stupid idea that he took that heavy sedative and then decided to get into a Jacuzzi.@@jasonsmith530
...or a pit
Imagine that. telling folks you are getting better instead of letting us figure that out on our own. Bark Bark and think you are fooling anyone.
Zero excuses. He had all the money and time in the world to turn this around. The rest of us have to bust our ass to work for a living with unaffordable health care. Tired of these spoiled privileged people getting a hall pass from the public just cause they are a "Star".......
Just because they're rich and famous doesn't mean they can deal with their problems any better than regular people but they do have more access to help I guess
So true. It's baffling how "star struck" many people are.
He probably passed out.
and drowned
I thought he had no water in his lungs though ,I guess I heard wrong
No you didn’t I heard the same thing.@@nancychartrand7808
Shame on any prescriber who thought this would be a good route for him to go for anxiety and depression.
Tell the wold about your medical credentials.
Ketamine is used to treat depression and anxiety. But he must've done it in a different way that was too much.
"Trace amounts of ketamine were found in Perry's stomach, but the coroner said high levels of the drug were found in his blood: 3.54 micrograms per milliliter. These levels led the Medical Examiner's Office to conclude that Perry's cause of death was not from his prior infusion therapy -the drug's half-life is just 3 to 4 hours- but rather ketamine that was taken in another manner. How that happened, the autopsy report said, is unknown. "
@@Katchi_tell the world about your ignorance...oh wait, you did.
@@thinkforyourself828 right... because of a typo you think you have something over me? Notice how the loser OP never responds?
With all his resources to combat his condition, it just goes to show how difficult it is to face down depression and anxiety coupled with self medicating. Most drugs are a bandaid not a cure. They bring a temporary respite from our troubles, but not a path to recovery. Chandler was such a great character that Matt Perry played to perfection. In a way his character was haunted by insecurities and that’s what made him relatable. It’s something that everyone struggles with and responds to differently.
I've been addicted to drugs for almost a year. I was in a workplace environment that was toxic. Do you know how there are bullies in school? They grow up and become cruel to their employees and coworkers. The obvious choice is to find a new job, and I eventually did, but I'm still a drug addict. Sometimes I think I should have just quit earlier without having a new job lined up. It would have been a hasty career move, but I wouldn't have had to deal with chronic anxiety and insomnia, which led to my addiction. You can go out of your way to help people and comfort them, or you can do the opposite. Please be kind to people.
Depending on his tolerance and WHERE he sourced the ketamine, it may have been a "hot shot." Street drugs are notoriously inconsistent when it comes to dosing. I'm prescribed ketamine in the form of a nasal spray for emergency pain episodes (I suffered a permanent, disabling pelvic injury during the emergency delivery of our 2nd daughter) and if used therapeutically, it CAN put you in a dream-like state since it acts as a dissociative. NEVER do these drugs recreationally, WHILE you are in a tub, pool, spa, etc. It's how A LOT of people die. I'm inclined to think he got a hot street dose. He was familiar with ketamine, so a sudden overdose on accident just doesn't seem likely.
Me too. I think his neighbour killed him

3:38... He's chewing gum, seems nonchalant, right??
I remember getting pancreatitis and they had to move me from my town to Pensacola because they were filled up with patients due to covid. The ambulance people cannot give pain meds to you like they did before such as opiods like morphine or anything. They gave me a shot before I left but it was going to wear off before I could arrive. OTW the ambulance guy told me this but that he could give me ketamine and when I asked "wth is ketamine" he told me it was the future of pain control because it disassoiciates the pain from the mind. Now I had my teen and 20s during the late 90s and early 2000's when the rave scene was strong and partied using E and Acid. I knew exactly what was happening to me when he gave it to me. It basically makes you trip and I laid there and could see the highway just through the top of the rear door windows of ambulance. I just laid there and hallucinated for about an hour. I did not feel pain unless my mind just focused in on it which was hard to do so I just let myself trip. Now I did not mind tripping in my youth when I could dance and enjoy it but I sure as hell did not enjoy it while lyind there in the back of a dam ambulance. I told them I never wanted that given to me again.
We all knew it was drugs.
faceless
Drugs, alcohol - Sensitive souls seeking a buffer in this harsh world
Cause of death: Loneliness. When you're alone and your servant just left home for a second. You die. Even tho it can be easily saved
Drug overdose. Who would've guessed? Lol.
That's what they always say
I hope they also investigate, who benefits and follow the "money!"
he looks a busy actor no time for that make up clown
I hope veterinarians have never used Ketamine; Sanjay will call it “horse medicine.”
May his soul rest in peace 🙏
He doing drugs in heaven
Full $$$ had all drugs delivered to his house tks to dear assitant..cleaners pool boy chauffeur too rodiculous instead of provinding help!!
He was self medicating.
thats different medicine biblical

The only revelation was the type of drug not that drugs would be the cause.
Funny how people care about this drug related death but the don’t care about the drug related death in their own neighbourhood.
I was an assistant to a big Academy award winning actor, and I knew everything he used to drink or get high. I can't understand how his assistant didn't know he was still using, since that is what she is saying. Just saying . . .
I think she was a live -in in order to keep an eye out...they cannot be trusted to be alone, let alone live alone
If you are trying to be sober, you go to meetings, maybe therapy, but you completely abstain because, you are an addict. It's the 12 step, with fellowship constantly there to help you, a sponsor, and again, not using, at all.
So he didn't die due to ketamine, he died due to stupidly swimming whilst being under the influence.
I don't know - somebody overdosed Prince. Somebody overdosed Michael Jackson. Somebody overdosed and drowned Whitney. Go figure! 🤷🏼♀️
If you want to heal your depression. Find a friend and found a family that can save you when u are alone. Instead of taking drugs
Keanu still walks among us!
yes, and he was and is, 100000% better than Perry was!
Well for one thing Keanu is not an addict and he's not arrogant. He helps a lot of people too...
Sp heartbreaking, he is missed. He did so much good for so many.

Thanks for the reporting!
How is this anyone's but his family's business???

Mr Perry seems to be the very definition of a G♥️♥️D GUY…
Talented, Genuine, Smart and very much loved by those who were close to him and adored by the fans…
Even with his personal issues/struggles he still managed to use his “dark” situation to spread light and hope to others..!!!
Mr Perry has helped so many more than he will ever know..!!!
RIP
♥️
He wasn't healthy and happy.
Shows how close Aniston really was to him. Or how well he hid it all.
Ketamine is succesfully used to treat ptsd and depression and it is cheap, so I imagine big pharma will now begin the attempts to ban it.
He did an amazing job raising awareness
Even so sadly in death he has raised awareness 😔
Thank you for the laughs and making millions happy duration of your career.
Thoughts with the family and friends 🤍 🕊
So he was still an addict and getting high?
Let's see you do better
Lol usually the case with most "clean" drug addicts
I wish this wasn't broadcasted....Rest in peace 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
They are sugar coating over dosing of Ketamine and then drowning...seems like he had his demons till the end
May he rest in peace.
what a scum drug to take
Lmao that reporter looks PISSSSSSED she couldn’t pass off this story as misinformation about medical use of ketamine Hahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 her face almost broke while doctor was saying obvious things about ketamine lmaoo

He killed himself with drugs, as we sadly all expected.
