Matthew Perry<\/strong> had enough ketamine in his system that he could have been rendered incapacitated or unconscious, causing him to drown … based on autopsy findings.<\/p>\n

According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner, Perry’s ketamine levels were 3,540 ng\/ml. When surgery patients are given anesthesia, ketamine levels are in the 1,000 – 6,000 range, so Perry was in the higher range.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other words, the amount of ketamine in his system was equivalent to the anesthesia some patients get before surgery. Perry could have just become disoriented enough that he drowned.<\/p>\n

TMZ broke the story, Perry was found dead<\/strong> in his hot tub back in October.<\/p>\n

According to the M.E., Perry had been prescribed ketamine for depression and anxiety, although it is also used as a recreational drug. He was taking it every other day, but 6 months ago a new doctor tried to ween him off that regime because he had showed signs of improvement.<\/p>\n

The last prescribed dose<\/strong> was a week and a half before his death, and the effects generally only last around 6 hours. So it appears the 54-year-old actor may have taken the ketamine shortly before getting in the hot tub.<\/p>\n

The tragedy here … had he not been in the hot tub, he could well be alive today.<\/p>\n
