Cause of Death Matthew Perry, Investigation Continues

According to an autopsy released by the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner, Matthew Perry died from “acute effects of ketamine.”

His death was also attributed to “coronary artery disease, buprenorphine effects,” according to the study.

The report stated that “prescription medications and loose pills” were discovered at the home.

“Alcohol, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, PCP, fentanyl were all not detected (negative),” according to the autopsy.

Perry passed away on October 28 following what seemed to be a drowning in his hot pool at his Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, home. 54 was his age.

The autopsy noted that “traces of ketamine were found in the stomach contents.” “The exact method of intake in Mr. Perry’s case is unknown.”

According to reports, Perry underwent “ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety.”

“The ketamine in his system at death could not be from that infusion therapy, since ketamine’s half-life is 3 to 4 hours or less,” the medical examiner concluded, even though his last known treatment was more than a week before he passed away.

As a dissociative anesthetic, ketamine has “established medical and surgical uses,” according to the autopsy.

Veterinarians were the first to utilize ketamine, according to Dr. Michael Baden, a forensic pathologist, former chief medical examiner of New York City, and Fox News contributor.

It was used on horses undergoing surgery and is quite potent. According to him confidentially, Fox News Digital was the first to employ it. “It had a bad side effect and caused hallucinations.”

Despite the drug’s decline in popularity among veterinarians, Baden continued, “The hallucinations made it more desirable for humans.”

“It became a drug of abuse back in the 60s and 70s,” he explained. “It was not very popular, but it was not a narcotic drug.”

The discovery of ketamine in the autopsy report shocked Baden the most.

“He has been several times in treatment for various drug-related issues. As far as I know, this wasn’t one of them,” he remarked. “He was very outspoken because he was trying to alert people to the hazards of drugs, and this wasn’t one of the drugs that he was abusing.”

A day after Perry passed away, the Department of Medical Examiner (DME) took his case down from the county website, citing “deferred” and “other significant conditions” as causes of death, and declaring his body “ready for release”.

“Toxicology results are pending, and an autopsy was completed today,” a DME representative said at the time to Fox News Digital.

There was no suspicion of foul play, and there were no illegal narcotics at the scene, according to reports. Perry was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park on November 3.

First responders discovered an adult male “unconscious in a stand-alone hot tub,” but the “Fools Rush In” actor had already passed away. This information was released by Capt. Erik Scott in a release. “A bystander had brought the man’s head above the water and gotten him to the edge, then firefighters removed him from the water.”

According to Scott, the individual “deceased before first responder arrival” after a “rapid medical assessment,” and the LAPD and the LA County Medical Examiner are looking into the circumstances.

Due to the LAPD’s propensity for handling high-profile crimes, the case was transferred to the Robbery-Homicide Division.

Iran Executes ‘Child Bride’ Convicted of Husband’s Murder Despite Global Appeals for Mercy

Iran Executes 'Child Bride' Convicted of Husband's Murder Despite Global Appeals for Mercy

Human rights organizations had urged for mercy, but on Wednesday an Iranian lady who had been forced into marriage as a child and was imprisoned for killing her husband was put to death.

Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO), a Norwegian organization, claims that Samira Sabzian was hung at Ghezelhesar Prison.

Sabzian was the victim of “gender apartheid, child marriage, and domestic violence,” according to IHRNGO Director Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam.

“[T]he murdering machine of the corrupt and inept dictatorship claimed her life today. A tyranny that has survived only by murdering people and inciting terror,” Amiry-Moghaddam said in a statement. “Ali Khamenei and other leaders of the Islamic Republic must be held accountable for this crime.”

Sabzian was imprisoned for ten years after her husband’s murder. According to IHRNGO, Sabzian suffered from domestic abuse and was coerced into marriage at the age of 15. At the time of her arrest, she was the mother of two small children, one of whom was a newborn. For a decade, Sabzian was separated from them until they visited the prison to bid her farewell before her execution.

“Alarmed” by the execution, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ office expressed.

“We again urge Iran to establish a moratorium on all executions to abolish the death penalty,” according to the office.

According to IHRNGO, Iran has carried out about 200 executions of women since 2010, making it one of the countries that executes the most women worldwide. Even in situations of domestic abuse and violence, women are not entitled to divorce; in more than half of those cases, the women were found guilty of killing their husbands.

New Jersey Highway Crash Involving 13 Cars Results in Injuries, Fuel Leak from Tractor Trailer

According to accounts, on Tuesday night, a jackknifed tractor-trailer spilled diesel fuel across the highway and into the Passaic River, causing a 13-car pileup. According to sources, police and emergency personnel from New Jersey came to the scene.

A jackknifed tractor-trailer is seen obstructing both lanes of traffic in the Freedom News TV footage of the incident. A further view shows a firefighter from Paterson, New Jersey, sledding across a black ice-covered roadway.

A car on a flatbed tow truck with its entire rear end shattered and all of its airbags deployed is also seen in the footage.

A portion of the road flooded while Sarvjeet Singh, who was interviewed for the video, was driving. Before coming to a section of the road that was frozen, he indicated that he and other cars had driven through.

As more automobiles started crashing into one another, he continued, “All of a sudden they couldn’t control their cars.” He then pulled into a driveway. “I found out before that, there was a tractor-trailer that got hit by a car and there was a bad injury there.”

He noticed as he pulled into the driveway that the automobiles were smashing behind him.

He believed something was wrong with his brakes after driving through the water, but then he began to slip and discovered the road was slick.

Crushed bumpers, flat tires, broken lamps, and dented fenders are among the damaged cars seen in more footage that is captured on the black ice.

Cars were pointing in the direction opposite to the flow of traffic, and some cars were sideways on the road.

Additionally, fluid-cleaning crews were observed underneath the tractor-trailer. They were observed shoveling and sweeping a quick-dry material that is meant to absorb fluids like oil and other substances that can pollute the environment or create dangerous circumstances on routes.

On camera, a crew member is seen pointing to an area and inquiring as to whether it contained diesel. Photo evidence indicated that the tractor-trailer’s fuel tank was dented, resulting in fuel spilling onto the roadway.

Roadway sanding was done by salt trucks following the collision. Photos posted on the Paterson Police Department’s Facebook page depict officers responding to a coastal storm that passed through the region on Monday, which resulted in significant flooding and hazardous drivers.

EMS arrived and declared the children who had received assistance dead on the spot. An unidentified woman reported to authorities that her kids were throwing up and that she might have given them Tylenol.

No foul play is suspected by the police. Chief of Detectives for the New York Police Department Joseph Kenny stated that all reports show the mother was “well engaged with everything to do with these children.”

“She was an active participant with their medical care, an active participant in their schooling,” he stated. Their family was calm and caring, and neighbors claimed she was a devoted mother. Right now, it just seems like a medical disaster until the medical examiner says otherwise.”

The NYPD informs Fox News Digital that the cause of death will be ascertained by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The probe is still going strong.
