“Friends” star Matthew Perry’s death is set to uncover a dark side of Hollywood drug dealing, according to Page Six.

The LAPD, in collaboration with the US Drug Enforcement Administration and the US Postal Inspection Service, is preparing for a press conference to announce possible charges.

Former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told the outlet that multiple people could be charged, including two big-name celebrities.
These charges could even include involuntary manslaughter, sources told Page Six. This charge can lead to a sentence of up to five years in jail.
Notably there are no murder charges because Perry took the Ketamine himself.
Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife Brooke Mueller is reportedly one of the celebrities linked to Matthew Perry’s overdose.
Mueller has been questioned by cops, but has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
“Intent is going to be the question,” Walder said.
“They obviously knew what they were doing was wrong [by drug dealing]. However, did they actively know that by procuring this it would kill him?”
“Using the mail to commit a crime is more common than you think,” Walder added.
“People pay a heap of money to buy drugs… say, someone gets a legal prescription for ketamine and maybe has a $20 copay on insurance, then decides to sell the prescription for $10k because this junkie needs it and they know he has the money.”
“There is big money to be made.”
“There are whole networks, it’s really disturbing. It’s now easier to get drugs by mail than fake an identity.”
Walder noted that Perry could have gotten an assistant to pick up the drugs, or merely swapped prescriptions with friends.
“He could easily have been procuring drugs through friends, ‘if you give me money I will give you my prescription’, there is a whole market that way,” Walder explained.
“It’s incredibly sad, I feel sad for Matthew Perry … [but] the people that fed off [his] weakness are problematic —I would love to see some kind of felony conviction for the people that were procuring the drugs for him, something that is going to stick with them for the rest of their lives.”

Perry passed away on October 28, 2023 while he was undergoing ketamine treatment, The Blast reported.
Perry’s autopsy concluded that the drug could not have been administered through his therapy due to the drug’s half-life and the timing of his last treatment.
The other celebrity is an unnamed “B-list star” who was reportedly close to Perry for many years. The pair even appeared on screen together.
A source told InTouch magazine that cops may target the actress’s cell phone.
“I am 100 percent sure the feds will find the text messages between the two that will expose a lot of information that could help their investigation,” the source detailed.
Page Six described this nameless celebrity by dropping hints; stating, for example, the two posed for a photo together at the office of a doctor who is understood to prescribe ketamine.
The doctor’s office, however, told Page Six that Perry was not a patient with them. “We are not talking with any law enforcement about any cases at this time,” it said.
