Matthew Perry death: New details emerge

- In his 2022 memoir 'Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,' Perry detailed his lifelong addiction battle, spending $7 million on treatment and consuming up to 55 Vicodin pills daily at his peak.
- Medical examiners determined Perry died from acute ketamine effects on October 28, 2023; court documents reveal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa administered multiple daily injections during the actor's final days.
