“Friends” actor Matthew Perry’s cause of death was determined by the medical examiner to be “acute effects” of the drug ketamine and other factors. Yet some questions about his death remain unanswered.

On Oct. 28, 2023, Mr. Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home. An autopsy was completed the following day, but the cause of death remained inconclusive to the medical examiner until the laboratory analysis was conducted.
