Jennifer Aniston shocked to discover Matthew Perry was ‘tormented’ before his death
Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and David Schwimmer were “shocked” to discover that Matthew Perry was “tormented” before his death.
Few days after the Murder Mystery star insisted that her Friends co-star was “happy” and “healthy” before his death, his toxicology report revealed the hard truth.
According to it, Perry died because of “the acute effects of ketamine,” with coronary artery disease and the influences of the opioid-like substance buprenorphine also playing a role in the cause of death.
To note, buprenorphine helps with opioid addiction, but the late actor had way too much ketamine in his system, which is an experimental treatment for anxiety.
