Matthew Perry’s death was not caused by a fentanyl or meth overdose, according to initial test results reported by TMZ. Citing law enforcement sources, the outlet says investigators ran a less-in-depth test on Perry to confirm the lack of those two drugs; however, more serious tests are still being conducted as part of the toxicology. The full results can take anywhere from 4-6 months.
Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub, last weekend, after playing a two-hour pickleball session on Saturday morning. No drugs were found on the scene and foul play isn’t suspected. Just days prior to the apparent drowning, he shared a picture of himself relaxing in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles home on Instagram.
