<h2 id="early-life-and-education">Early life and education</h2>
Matthew Langford Perry was born in <a href="/facts/Williamstown%2c_Massachusetts/9eakrbhB">Williamstown, Massachusetts</a>, on August 19, 1969.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5">5</a> His mother, Suzanne Marie Morrison (<a href="/facts/Birth_name/FctFJcbg">née</a> Langford, born 1948),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6">6</a> is a Canadian journalist who was press secretary to Canadian prime minister <a href="/facts/Pierre_Trudeau/HXJvLyhk">Pierre Trudeau</a>. His father, <a href="/facts/John_Bennett_Perry/DvTDeE8H">John Bennett Perry</a> (born 1941), is an American actor and former model.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7">7</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8">8</a>
Perry's parents separated when he was a year old and his mother married Canadian broadcast journalist <a href="/facts/Keith_Morrison/MDcvSDzI">Keith Morrison</a>. Perry was mostly raised by his mother in Ottawa, Ontario, but he also lived briefly in Toronto and Montreal.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9">9</a> He attended <a href="/facts/Rockcliffe_Park_Public_School/VLz9gBzx">Rockcliffe Park Public School</a> and <a href="/facts/Ashbury_College/JUPU6KoG">Ashbury College</a>, a boarding school in Ottawa.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10">10</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11" href="#fn:11">11</a> He had four younger maternal half-siblings—Caitlin, Emily, Will, and Madeline—as well as a younger paternal half-sister named Maria. His siblings "would stand and applaud" him for early performances.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:12" href="#fn:12">12</a>
By the time he was 10, Perry started misbehaving. He stole money, smoked, let his grades slip and beat up fellow student and future Canadian prime minister <a href="/facts/Justin_Trudeau/fmCWle6G">Justin Trudeau</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13">13</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14">14</a> Perry later attributed his behavior to his feeling like a family outsider who no longer belonged, once his mother began having children with Morrison. As Perry wrote, "I was so often on the outside looking in, still that kid up in the clouds on a flight to somewhere else, unaccompanied."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15">15</a> At age 14, he began consuming alcohol and by the time he was 18, he was drinking every day.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16">16</a> Perry practiced tennis, often for 10 hours per day,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17">17</a> and became a top-ranked junior player in Canada with the possibility of a tennis career. But his prospects diminished when he moved from Ottawa, at age 15, to live with his father in Los Angeles, where competition was much tougher.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18">18</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19">19</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20">20</a>

He spent two weeks in a coma and used a <a href="/facts/Ostomy_system/6WHbI5WK">colostomy bag</a> for nine months. Upon being admitted to the hospital, doctors told his family that Perry had a 2% chance of survival. He was connected to an <a href="/facts/Extracorporeal_membrane_oxygenation/RxxmXV8h">extracorporeal membrane oxygenation</a> (ECMO) machine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:105" href="#fn:105">105</a>
Perry faked pain to get a prescription for 1,800 milligrams of <a href="/facts/Hydrocodone/PjvCI4wN">hydrocodone</a> per day and was having daily <a href="/facts/Ketamine/BtNSoqvh">ketamine</a> infusions. He was given <a href="/facts/Propofol/t34FW3fL">propofol</a> in conjunction with a surgery, which stopped his heart for five minutes. The resulting <a href="/facts/Cardiopulmonary_resuscitation/0LNkmTVf">cardiopulmonary resuscitation</a> (CPR) resulted in eight broken ribs. He paid $175,000 for a private jet to take him to Los Angeles to get more drugs. When doctors there refused, he booked another $175,000 private flight to fly back to Switzerland that night.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:106" href="#fn:106">106</a> In 2022, he estimated that he had spent $9 million on his addiction, including 14 stomach surgeries, 15 stays in rehab and therapy twice a week for 30 years and had attended approximately 6,000 <a href="/facts/Alcoholics_Anonymous/owLBcGtT">Alcoholics Anonymous</a> meetings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:107" href="#fn:107">107</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:108" href="#fn:108">108</a>

<h3>Philanthropy and advocacy</h3>
In July 2011, Perry lobbied the <a href="/facts/United_States_Congress/mJlU46K7">United States Congress</a> as a celebrity spokesperson for the <a href="/facts/National_Association_of_Drug_Court_Professionals/EAtRPYmu">National Association of Drug Court Professionals</a> in support of funding for <a href="/facts/Drug_courts_in_the_United_States/vnCgvB4D">drug courts</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:109" href="#fn:109">109</a> He received a Champion of Recovery award in May 2013 from the White House <a href="/facts/Office_of_National_Drug_Control_Policy/HdU68yNb">Office of National Drug Control Policy</a> for opening Perry House, a rehab center in his former mansion in Malibu.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:110" href="#fn:110">110</a> In 2015, Perry sold the mansion and relocated its services.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:111" href="#fn:111">111</a> During the <a href="/facts/COVID-19_pandemic/0xTsh7Ut">COVID-19 pandemic</a>, he launched an apparel line inspired by Friends, with proceeds donated to the <a href="/facts/World_Health_Organization/YNN3bgug">World Health Organization</a>'s <a href="/facts/COVID-19/YsUgvsaX">COVID-19</a> relief fund.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:112" href="#fn:112">112</a>

<h2 id="death-and-funeral">Death and funeral</h2>
On October 28, 2023, Perry was found unresponsive in a <a href="/facts/Hot_tub/w4cMV5Mx">hot tub</a> at his home in <a href="/facts/Pacific_Palisades%2c_Los_Angeles/1p1KWKfc">Pacific Palisades</a>, Los Angeles. He was pronounced dead at 4:17 pm the same day. He was 54 years old.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:113" href="#fn:113">113</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:114" href="#fn:114">114</a>
On November 3, 2023, Perry's funeral was held at <a href="/facts/Forest_Lawn_Memorial_Park_(Hollywood_Hills)/7yP4YrcG">Forest Lawn Memorial Park</a> in Los Angeles where he was buried.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:115" href="#fn:115">115</a> His father, mother, and stepfather attended, as did his five Friends co-stars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:116" href="#fn:116">116</a> The <a href="/facts/Peter_Gabriel/IYQ3DoTx">Peter Gabriel</a> and <a href="/facts/Kate_Bush/gkBP9bD9">Kate Bush</a> song "<a href="/facts/Don%2527t_Give_Up_(Peter_Gabriel_and_Kate_Bush_song)/Ast3QqPe">Don't Give Up</a>" was played; Perry was enamored with the song and referenced it in signed copies of his autobiography, released in part to help people suffering from depression or addiction issues.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:117" href="#fn:117">117</a> Following Perry's death, the <a href="/facts/National_Philanthropic_Trust/KsHTVLpW">National Philanthropic Trust</a> established the Matthew Perry Foundation to support people suffering from addiction.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:118" href="#fn:118">118</a>
On December 15, 2023, Perry's death was revealed to have occurred due to acute effects of <a href="/facts/Ketamine/BtNSoqvh">ketamine</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:119" href="#fn:119">119</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:120" href="#fn:120">120</a> Other circumstances that contributed to his death included the effects of <a href="/facts/Buprenorphine/Mou2qrHm">buprenorphine</a>, drowning, and <a href="/facts/Coronary_artery_disease/szCt0nVx">coronary artery disease</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:121" href="#fn:121">121</a> The <a href="/facts/Los_Angeles_County_Department_of_Medical_Examiner/dfdH5otQ">Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner</a> said in a statement that 

<blockquote>...at the high levels of ketamine found in his <a href="/facts/Post-mortem/GzSXuCH2">post-mortem</a> blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression... ...drowning contributes due to the likelihood of submersion into the pool as he lapsed into unconsciousness; coronary artery disease contributes due to exacerbation of ketamine induced myocardial effects on the heart.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:122" href="#fn:122">122</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:123" href="#fn:123">123</a> The ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine's <a href="/facts/Biological_half-life/7nB2JtMr">half-life</a> is 3 to 4 hours, or less. </blockquote>
Perry had been receiving <a href="/facts/Ketamine-assisted_psychotherapy/4I0We4zh">ketamine-assisted psychotherapy</a> sessions to treat anxiety at the time of his death, his last known session of which having been the week prior to his death. However, the report stated that the therapy could not have resulted in his death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:124" href="#fn:124">124</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:125" href="#fn:125">125</a> 

<h2 id="investigation">Investigation</h2>
In May 2024, an investigation was opened by the Los Angeles Police Department to determine how Perry obtained the high dose of ketamine that caused his death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:126" href="#fn:126">126</a> On August 15, 2024, indictments and charges were filed against five people: Perry's personal assistant, two doctors, and two drug dealers (including TV director <a href="/facts/Erik_Fleming_(director)/B06oBPuj">Erik Fleming</a>),<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:127" href="#fn:127">127</a> alleging involvement in the distribution of ketamine that caused the death of Perry and one other person.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:128" href="#fn:128">128</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a> 
Three of the accused agreed to plead guilty,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a> with two, Fleming and Perry's former assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, having their guilty pleas entered into court soon after being charged;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a> Iwamasa pleaded guilty on August 7, 2024, as did Fleming the following day.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a> During a court hearing on August 30, 2024, it was agreed that former doctor Mark Chavez, who had signed a plea agreement but had not yet officially entered it into court, would have his guilty plea accepted, though he will still not officially plead guilty until a later court appearance.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a> Chavez would have his medical license suspended the next month and would officially plead guilty at a court hearing held on October 2, 2024.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:140" href="#fn:140">140</a> The second doctor, Salvador Plasencia, agreed to plead guilty on June 17, 2025.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:141" href="#fn:141">141</a> 
According to U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada, Perry paid the two doctors $55,000 in cash for ketamine in the two months before his death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:142" href="#fn:142">142</a> Iwamasa admitted to obtaining ketamine for Perry and injecting him with the drug, while Fleming admitted to obtaining the ketamine from the supplier and giving it to Iwamasa for Perry to use.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:143" href="#fn:143">143</a> Text messages also revealed that Plasencia would purchase the ketamine from Chavez.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:144" href="#fn:144">144</a>
