The actor died on October 28, 2023 as a result of “acute effects of ketamine” and subsequent drowning, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office autopsy report.
Ketamine has seen a surge in use in recent years as a treatment for depression, anxiety and pain. People close to Perry told coroner’s investigators that he was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy before his death and he was being treated by at least two doctors, according to The Associated Press.
The levels of the drug found in his system were too high and were the amount normally given for surgery, the medical examiner said.
His last infusion was a week and a half before his death, meaning that the drug at the levels found was not prescribed by a doctor.

If you are not familiar with the 2003 Station Nightclub fire, I highly recommend that you read "Killer Show" by John Barylick which I previously reviewed in another thread. If you just read the first few pages, you won't be able to put this book down.
This captivating book tells of the many mistakes, some honest and some not, by numerous parties that caused this terrible tragedy. It covers in great detail the 90 seconds that club patrons and employees had to escape the fast spreading fire and how some just made it by a few seconds and how some were a few seconds too late. There's the miraculous story of the guy who was found alive under the pile of dead and burned bodies in the entryway with only a few minor burns on his leg. It's also an educational read for fire safety and the science behind fires and certain flammable materials. The stories of the victims and survivors are very sad. The incredible response by the hospitals and the medical personnel setting up and operating the triage across the street was truly inspiring. The investigation and prosecution of the responsible parties makes for a very compelling read.Last edited by madducks; 08-25-2024, 05:35 AM.“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
