Did the LAPD just say that Matthew Perry was murdered by friends because he was about to name and shame elite pedophiles in Hollywood?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : LAPD Said Matthew Perry Was Murdered By Friends!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that LAPD just said that Matthew Perry was murdered by friends because he was about to name and shame elite pedophiles in Hollywood!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
LAPD Bombshell: ‘Matthew Perry Was Murdered’
LAPD investigators say they believe Matthew Perry was murdered following revelations that the Friends star was about to name and shame elite pedophiles in Hollywood.
According to police insiders, Perry was intentionally given an overdose of drugs by multiple Hollywood friends. The insiders say that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing the case to decide on whether or not to press charges.
Last year, the 54-year-old actor was found dead in a bathtub. Perry was penning a tell-all book in the months before his death, the follow up to Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing, and the manuscript is said to delve deep into the hidden corners of the Hollywood entertainment industry, shedding light on the dark secrets of the elite.
An autopsy report released in December by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed that the actor’s cause of death was listed as acute effects of ketamine.
Drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid use disorder, were also listed as contributing factors.
Perry was found dead under the water in his hot tub by an employee at his Los Angeles home in October.
While the public speculated that Perry might have taken illicit drugs, given his history of addiction and decades-long substance abuse, an initial toxicology test showed there was no fentanyl or meth in his system at the time of his death, which tracked with the actor’s claim that he had been sober the two and a half years leading up to his death.
Truth : LAPD Did Not Say Matthew Perry Was Murdered By Friends!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : LAPD Did Not Say Matthew Perry Was Murdered
First, let me just point out that the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) did not say that Matthew Perry was murdered.
If the LAPD actually said that, it would have shocked the world, and there would have been extensive media coverage over this celebrity murder. But none of that happened, because it was all made up.
Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claims.
Fact #2 : Matthew Perry’s Death Was Ruled As Accident
Matthew Perry (born Matthew Langford Perry on August 19, 1969) was found unresponsive and under water in his hot tub on the afternoon of Saturday, 28 October 2023. Unfortunately, he had already died before first responders could arrive.
On Friday, 15 December 2023, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner revealed that Matthew Perry’s official cause of death was acute effects of ketamine, and his manner of death was ruled as an accident (drug and drowning related).
The toxicology report stated that Perry had such high levels of ketamine in his blood that it ultimately led to his death from “cardiovascular overstimulation” and “respiratory depression“. The postmortem report also listed other contributing factors to Matthew Perry’s death – drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine (which is used to treat opioid addiction).
Fact #3 : Police Only Investigating Source Of Ketamine
The truth is – the LAPD was only investigating the source of the ketamine that killed Matthew Perry.
Matthew Perry was reportedly receiving ketamine infusion therapy prior to his death for depression and anxiety. However, his last known treatment was 1.5 weeks prior to his death, and could not have been a contributing factor.
That’s why the LAPD had been been working with the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. postal inspectors in an attempt to ascertain where the ketamine that killed Perry came from.
A law enforcement source told PEOPLE that its investigation into Matthew Perry’s death was “nearing its conclusion” and that the police believe “multiple people” should be charged. However, this was only in reference to the people who supplied ketamine to Matthew Perry.
The law enforcement source never once mentioned that Matthew Perry was murdered. It also never identified his friends as those who killed him. Neither did the source claim that Matthew Perry was killed because he was about to “name and shame elite pedophiles in Hollywood”. All that appears to be made up out of thin air!
Fact #4 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News
The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.
Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.
Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Matthew Perry Died Suddenly In His Hot Tub!
The Internet is just obsessed with Matthew Perry’s sudden death. Not only because so many of us have such fond memories of Chandler Bing in Friends, but also because Matthew Perry died suddenly under bizarre circumstances.
He was said to have accidentally drowned in his hot tub, while other people claim that he suffered a cardiac arrest. Anti-vaccination proponents naturally claimed that Matthew Perry died from the COVID-19 vaccine!
Matt Wallace : Do you believe Matthew Perry died from heart issues in his Jacuzzi that were caused by him getting so many Covid Vaccines? He once promoted a shirt saying “Could I be any more vaccinated?” RIP Matthew Perry
Ada Lluch : Matthew Perry has been found dead at age 54 after a cardiac arrest. No drugs were found at the scene. He was a huge pro-vaccine promoter. Coincidence?
Inversionism : Is Matthew Perry yet another person on the ever growing long list of celebrities that died from the vaccine? It’s insane how many have died since 2021 and is likely going to continue increasing if the myocarditis data is accurate at the 50% 5 year survival rate. RIP.
Here are the latest updates on the circumstances surrounding Matthew Perry, and his sudden death in his bathtub.
On Saturday, 28 October 2023, Matthew Perry played an hour game of pickleball at the Riviera Country Club in the morning – shorter than usual. According to Extra host, Billy Bush, his pickleball partner said that he had been feeling tired for the past week, and on the day itself.
I spoke to the woman he [Matthew Perry] played with this morning and every morning. She said he had been fatigued today and over the past week. A little more than usual. He played for one hour, then went home.
When he got home, he sent his assistant out on an errand. When his assistant returned two hours later, he discovered Matthew unresponsive, and under water in his hot tub.
His assistant called 911, at around 4 PM, which was confirmed by a representative for the Los Angeles Police Department:
West L.A. officers responded to [a residence] at 4:10 p.m. for a Death Investigation of a male in his 50s.
The assistant lifted Matthew Perry’s head from under the water, and tried to get him some air. But by the time first responders got to his Pacific Palisades home, Matthew Perry was already dead.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott said:
Los Angeles City Firefighters responded [and] found an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub.
A bystander had brought the man’s head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then firefighters removed him from the water upon their arrival.
A rapid medical assessment, sadly, revealed the man was deceased prior to first responder arrival.
Sadly, it was reported that Matthew Perry wasn’t in his hot tub for very long before his apparent drowning. Law enforcement officers noted that his body was not waterlogged, when first responders arrived.
There appears to be some confusion about the earlier claims of him dying from cardiac arrest, which stemmed from reports that first responders were called to the scene for a cardiac arrest.
The 15-second dispatch call has emerged, revealing that it was his assistant who reported a cardiac arrest to 911. But first responders were actually called to the scene for a drowning.
Agent 23. Rescue 23, EMS 9 [Emergency Medical Situation 9 refers to a drowning] on the radio. In response to the drowning.
It is unknown if he actually suffered a cardiac arrest. He could have fallen unconscious for any number of reasons. At this point in time – Matthew Perry’s official cause of death has not been revealed, or confirmed.
Captain Scot Williams of Los Angeles Police Department said that his Robbery-Homicide Division was investigating Matthew Perry’s sudden death, but no foul play was suspected at this time:
The Robbery-Homicide Division is handling the death investigation involving Matthew Perry and foul play is not suspected at this time.
While unnamed sources at the scene claimed that no drugs were found at the scene, the LAPD Captain Scot Williams refused to comment on what its officers recovered at the scene:
I will not comment on what was or was not recovered at the scene, as the investigation is ongoing.
Sources told TMZ that law enforcement officers did not find any illegal drugs, but they found prescription drugs, specifically anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety drugs, as well as an unnamed drug for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner conducted an autopsy was conducted on Matthew Perry (Case 2023-14789, now removed), but the determination of his official cause of death was deferred, pending toxicology results.
On 8 November 2023, The Blast obtained Matthew Perry’s death certificate. It too said that the official cause of death is being deferred pending toxicology reports.
However, initial toxicology reports indicate that there was no meth or fentanyl in his system when he drowned. His death certificate officially recorded his time of death as 4:17 PM.
On Friday, 15 December 2023, the Medical Examiner revealed Matthew Perry’s official cause of death – acute effects of ketamine, although the exact method of intake was unknown. The manner of his death was ruled as an accident (drug and drowning related).
Matthew Perry was reportedly receiving ketamine infusion therapy prior to his death for depression and anxiety. However, his last known treatment was 1.5 weeks prior to his death, and could not have been a contributing factor.
Per the Medical Examiner Investigator’s report, his last known treatment was 1½ weeks prior to death, and the ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine’s half-life is 3 to 4 hours, or less.
The toxicology report stated that Perry had such high levels of ketamine in his blood that it ultimately led to his death from “cardiovascular overstimulation” and “respiratory depression“. It noted that Matthew Perry had blood ketamine levels of up to 3.54 mg/dL, when the levels for general anaesthesia in surgery was between 1.0 to 6.0 mg/dL.
At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.
The postmortem report also listed other contributing factors to Matthew Perry’s death – drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine (which is used to treat opioid addiction).
While the autopsy report could not determine how Matthew Perry received such a high dose of ketamine (trace amounts was found in his stomach contents), what is certain is that he died from an ketamine, and not from the COVID-19 vaccine, or some other cause of death.

Fact : Matthew Perry Did Not Die From Vaccine Cardiac Arrest!
It’s now tradition for anti-vaccination activists to immediately blame all celebrity deaths or illnesses on the COVID-19 vaccine.
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created and propagated by anti-vaccine activists, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Matthew Perry Drowned In His Hot Tub
Matthew Perry (born Matthew Langford Perry on 19 August 1969) was most famous for starring as Chandler Bing in the NBC sitcom, Friends, from 1994 to 2004. He also appeared in Ally McBeal, The West Wing, The Odd Couple, and The Good Wife.
On Saturday, 28 October 2023, Matthew Perry played a two-hour game of pickleball in the morning, and then sent his assistant out on an errand. When his assistant returned two hours later, he discovered Matthew unresponsive, and underwater in his hot tub.
A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed, saying:
West L.A. officers responded to [a residence] at 4:10 p.m. for a Death Investigation of a male in his 50s.
His assistant lifted his head from under the water, and tried to get him some air, and then called 911. But by the time first responders got to his Pacific Palisades home, Matthew Perry was already dead.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Erik Scott said:
Los Angeles City Firefighters responded [and] found an adult male unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub.

There appears to be some confusion about the earlier claims of him dying from cardiac arrest, which stemmed from reports that first responders were called to the scene for a cardiac arrest.
The 15-second dispatch call has emerged, revealing that it was his assistant who reported a cardiac arrest to 911. But first responders were actually called to the scene for a drowning.
Agent 23. Rescue 23, EMS 9 [Emergency Medical Situation 9 refers to a drowning] on the radio. In response to the drowning.
In other words – it was unknown, at that time, if he actually suffered a cardiac arrest. He could have fallen unconscious for any number of reasons.
Captain Scot Williams of Los Angeles Police Department said that his Robbery-Homicide Division was investigating Matthew Perry’s sudden death, but no foul play was suspected:
The Robbery-Homicide Division is handling the death investigation involving Matthew Perry and foul play is not suspected at this time.
While unnamed sources at the scene claimed that no drugs were found at the scene, the LAPD Captain Scot Williams refused to comment on what its officers recovered at the scene:
I will not comment on what was or was not recovered at the scene, as the investigation is ongoing.
Fact #3 : Matthew Perry Died From Acute Effects Of Ketamine
An autopsy was conducted on Matthew Perry by the LA County Medical Examiner, and his body was marked as ready for release to his family.
However, the preliminary autopsy report (Case 2023-14789, now removed) stated that determination of his official cause of death was deferred, pending toxicology results.
On Friday, 15 December 2023, the Medical Examiner revealed Matthew Perry’s official cause of death – acute effects of ketamine, although the exact method of intake was unknown. The manner of his death was ruled as an accident (drug and drowning related).
Matthew Perry was reportedly receiving ketamine infusion therapy prior to his death for depression and anxiety. However, his last known treatment was 1.5 weeks prior to his death, and could not have been a contributing factor.
The toxicology report stated that Perry had such high levels of ketamine in his blood that it ultimately led to his death from “cardiovascular overstimulation” and “respiratory depression“. It noted that Matthew Perry had blood ketamine levels of up to 3.54 mg/dL, when the levels for general anaesthesia in surgery was between 1.0 to 6.0 mg/dL.
At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens, the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.
The postmortem report also listed other contributing factors to Matthew Perry’s death – drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine (which is used to treat opioid addiction).
To be clear – the full autopsy report did not mention the COVID-19 vaccine as a contributing cause.
Fact #4 : Matthew Perry Had Long History Of Substance Abuse
While it has been said that no drugs were found at the scene of his sudden death, Matthew Perry has a long history of substance abuse.
He started drinking at the age of 14, and later became addicted to Vicodin, Oxycontin, and Xanax. It was his Vicodin addition that led to a jet-ski accident, and his first stint in rehab in 1997 – at the height of his Friends fame.
In 2022, he told The New York Times how he spent $9 million fighting his addiction:
I would fake back injuries. I would fake migraine headaches. I had eight doctors going at the same time. I would wake up and have to get 55 Vicodin that day, and figure out how to do it.
When you’re a drug addict, it’s all math. I go to this place, and I need to take three. And then I go to this place, and I’m going to take five because I’m going to be there longer.
It’s exhausting but you have to do it or you get very, very sick. I wasn’t doing it to feel high or to feel good.
I certainly wasn’t a partier; I just wanted to sit on my couch, take five Vicodin and watch a movie. That was heaven for me. It no longer is… I’ve probably spent $9 million or something trying to get sober.
According to Matthew Perry, he ended up in rehab at least 15 times, and had 14 stomach surgeries after suffering gastrointestinal perforations from his opioid abuse.
He also recounted in his 2022 memoir – Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing (US | UK | AU), that in 2018 – when he was 49 years old, and years before COVID-19 vaccines were invented – his colon burst from excessive opioid use, and he ended up in a coma for two weeks, and was hospitalised for five months.
The doctors told my family that I had a 2 percent chance to live. I was put on a thing called an ECMO machine, which does all the breathing for your heart and your lungs. And that’s called a Hail Mary. No one survives that.
Fact #5 : High Ketamine Levels Unlikely From Treatment
While Matthew Perry is known to have received ketamine infusions to treat his depression and anxiety, his last known treatment was 1.5 weeks prior to his death. It is, therefore, impossible for those ketamine treatments to contribute to his death, and certainly impossible for the high levels of ketamine in his blood to originate from that last known treatment, as the Medical Examiner pointed out:
Per the Medical Examiner Investigator’s report, his last known treatment was 1½ weeks prior to death, and the ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine’s half-life is 3 to 4 hours, or less.
Fact #6 : Matthew Perry Was Possibly Vaccinated Against COVID-19
Matthew Perry did not publicly mention his COVID-19 vaccination status, so it is uncertain he was vaccinated against COVID-19. His family also has not mentioned his vaccination status.
The only “evidence” quoted by many people that Matthew Perry was vaccinated was his May 2021 tweet promoting a T-shirt with the words, “Could I BE Any More Vaccinated?”
Other than that single tweet, we really have no evidence that Matthew Perry was actually vaccinated against COVID-19. People claiming that was fully-vaccinated and/or boosted certainly offered no evidence to back up their claims.
Until and unless his family reveals his COVID-19 vaccination status, anyone who claims that Matthew Perry died from the COVID-19 vaccine is likely lying to you.
Fact #7 : Vaccine Side Effects Appear Within Hours / Days
Even if Matthew Perry was fully-vaccinated against COVID-19, it does not mean he died from the COVID-19 vaccine, as he would have received his doses more than two years ago!
He cannot possibly be suffering from a vaccine side effect, because they appear within hours or days, not months or years later.
Mild side effects like injection site pain, fever, muscle ache, headache, lethargy develop within minutes to hours of the vaccination.
Anaphylaxis develops within minutes, while other severe adverse reactions like myocarditis and VITTdevelop within days.
The spike proteins produced by the COVID-19 vaccines also do not stick around for months. If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity.
Your own immune system will identify the spike proteins as foreign, and destroy them within a matter of days, although some may last for up to a few weeks. This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it.
Fact #5 : Claims Of Celebrities Injured By COVID-19 Vaccine Proven False
So far, claims of sudden deaths / injuries due to the COVID-19 vaccine have been proven false in every instance. Here is the latest dozen of other false sudden death claims!
Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? Nope! They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy…
