In an interview with Variety on December, 11 Aniston said, "He was happy. He was healthy. He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that’s all I know."

"I was literally texting with him that morning, funny Matty," she continued. "He was not in pain. He wasn’t struggling. He was happy."

Mathew Perry was found unresponsive and died from ketamine

The Los Angeles County medical examiner determined Mathew Perry's cause of death on 15 December to be "acute effects of ketamine."

He was undergoing regular ketamine infusions as part of the treatment for depression and drug addiction before his death.

Perry according to the autopsy report was found "floating face down in the heated end" of the pool. 

Matthew Perry's ex-girlfriend, Kayti Edwards, who started dating Perry in 2011 and formerly worked as his secretary, disclosed Perry's drug addiction to the Sun.

“I was at Matthew’s place in the Hollywood Hills. He was in a bad way,” Perry's ex said.

“He had been getting high all night on a plethora of drugs, most likely crack cocaine and other substances.” 

Edwards said Perry had glued his hand to his legs, stating, "It was desperately sad. I had to use nail polish remover and olive oil to free him."
