ABOUT MATTHEW PERRY: A HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY
ABOUT MATTHEW PERRY: A HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY:
On October 28th, 2023, the news that actor Matthew Perry was found dead at home in Los Angeles shocked the world. In his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and The Big Terrible Thing," he had told his story of battling addiction, and when ketamine was found in his system, it was thought by many that he had died from an overdose. Nearly a year later, a bombshell announcement: five people, including Perry's personal assistant, two medical doctors, and an alleged Hollywood drug dealer known as "the Ketamine Queen" were charged with conspiracy to illegally provide Perry with the ketamine. The special explores the case as two of the defendants, who have pleaded not guilty, await trial.
In MATTHEW PERRY: A HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY, the story of Perry's rise to fame is interwoven with the harrowing story of his final days, as his assistant allegedly sought ketamine from sources the U.S. Attorney claims "should have known better." We hear from some of Perry's collaborators, Hollywood insiders, and law enforcement in telling this tragic Hollywood story.
