Local police and federal agents are trying to figure out where the actor procured the drug before his October 2023 death, according to TMZ.
The outlet reported Tuesday that authorities have questioned people with a history of drug abuse for any information regarding Perry’s source.

Two months after Perry was found unresponsive in his Los Angeles home’s hot tub, his autopsy report was released.

Drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects were listed as other contributing factors.
At the time, a medical expert speculated to Page Six that Perry had “likely” obtained ketamine illegally for “recreational use.”
Dr. Bankole Johnson explained that “it would be questionable medicine” as well as “a true recipe for disaster … to provide ketamine to someone also using buprenorphine,” a synthetic opioid in treating addiction.

Although Perry was undergoing ketamine treatment for anxiety and depression, the autopsy report noted that “the ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy” because of its half life of three to four hours or less.
The new report comes after the Los Angeles Police Department told People in January that it was no longer investigating Perry’s death.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner also said the case was “closed” at the time.

Perry’s “Friends” co-stars have continued to honor him since his death.
Not only did David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrw, Matt LeBlanc and Courteney Cox release a joint statement last year, but the latter told “CBS Sunday Morning” viewers this weekend that Perry still “visits” her.
“I sense Matthew’s around for sure,” Cox, 59, said.
