Actor Matthew Perry wrote about his issues with addiction to alcohol and drugs. In his memoir, he said he began drinking at 14 and was an alcoholic by 18. Perry first went to rehab and completed a 28-day program at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation after a jet-ski accident led to an addiction to Vicodin. In his 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing," Perry claimed to have been to rehab 15 times, detoxed 65 times, and spent about $7 to $9 million trying to get sober.  Perry also spent 5-months in the hospital after his colon burst from prolonged opioid abuse.   

Two years after his near-death experience,  Perry goes to a Rehab facility in Switzerland. He wrote that he faked pain symptoms to get Oxycontin during COVID. He was also getting daily Ketamine infusions.  The Ketamine use after treatment led to his death.  Five people where charged in connection with Perry's overdose death. Now, one of those who sold Ketamine to Perry gets a slap on the wrist from the court. Eric Flemming sentenced to 24 months in federal prison and three years of supervised  release. 

According to prosecutors, Fleming admitted he distributed the ketamine, obtained from so-called "Ketamine Queen" Jasveen Sangha.  Fleming also admitted to distributing 50 vials of ketamine to Perry's live-in personal assistant.   

On October 28, Matthew Perry went to his country club to play a game of Pickleball with friends. Perry returned to his home after the game and was seen by his assistant, who was leaving the house to run errands. At 4 p.m., the assistant returned home and found Perry floating face down in the heated end of the pool. 

Paramedics pulled Perry out of the pool and pronounced him dead at the scene.
