Matthew Perry, the beloved "Friends" sitcom star, died from the "acute effects of ketamine," according to an autopsy report released Friday by the Los Angeles Medical Examiner.
Perry, 54, was found unresponsive "floating face down in the heated end of pool," on Oct. 29, the autopsy said. His cause of death listed on the autopsy report was the "acute effects of ketamine," with contributing factors listed as "drowning, coronary artery disease and buprenorphine effects."
The report says the death was accidental and that no signs of foul play were suspected.
An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members aboard collided with an Army helicopter Wednesday night while coming in for a landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington. The Black Hawk helicopter was carrying a crew of three. Officials said early Thursday that everyone on board both aircraft is believed dead, which would make it the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly a quarter century.
