“Friends” actor Matthew Perry’s cause of death was due to the “acute effects” of the dissociative drug ketamine and other factors, according to an autopsy report released Friday. Mr. Perry died on Oct. 28 at age 54.
The “acute effects of ketamine” were listed alongside drowning, according to the report. Other conditions that contributed include “coronary artery disease” and “buprenorphine effects,” the report listed, making reference to the opioid partial agonist drug.
