A preliminary report notes "other significant conditions" contributed to his death.

I think you and Tine should meet on this rooftop daily and hammer out this Hamas situation and Arby’s expansion plansOriginally Posted by lol wow
To the surprise of (almost) no one - yeah, hot tubs and pools don't kill, but drugs, particularly ketamine, do:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Matthew Perry died from the acute effects of the anesthetic ketamine, according to the results of an autopsy on the 54-year-old “Friends” actor released Friday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said in the autopsy report that Perry also drowned in “the heated end of his pool,” but that it was a secondary factor in his Oct. 28 death, deemed an accident.
People close to Perry told investigators that he was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy, an experimental treatment used to treat depression and anxiety. But the medical examiner said the levels of ketamine in Perry’s body were in the range used for general anesthesia during surgery, and that his last treatment 1 1/2 weeks earlier wouldn’t explain those levels. The drug is typically metabolized in a matter of hours.
The report says coronary artery disease and buprenorphine, which is used to treat opioid use disorder, also contributed.
The amount of ketamine detected “would be enough to make him lose consciousness and lose his posture and his ability to keep himself above the water,” said Dr. Andrew Stolbach, a medical toxicologist with Johns Hopkins Medicine who reviewed the autopsy report at the request of The Associated Press.
“Using sedative drugs in a pool or hot tub, especially when you’re alone, is extremely risky and, sadly, here it’s fatal,” said Stolbach, who noted that both ketamine and buprenorphine can be used safely.

Re: the part about the level of drugs in his body being the amount used in general anesthesia, there's gotta at least be a chance this was a self-checkout deal...
This guy was literally addicted to everything, ODs on a psych med. Yeah he died of a narcotic, we all knew that. But apparently he had advanced emphysema from smoking 2 packs of cigs a day for 20 years. CPOD, he was on his way out either way.Here is Matt a few days before his death. Looks like he is loving life:
He was worth $200M and it was growing due to his sitcom deal. I wonder who gets the cash since he was unmarried, no kids and parents are in their 80s.
Guy would have made a great member here.
Oh well, RIP.
Suboxone/Subutex would have increased the effects of ketamine for sure.

Yep this was a Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson type of expatriation with heart slow down drugs. These guys just start mixing hospital narcotics for whatever reason, I dunno. Like I said, he was probably on the death wagon anyway given he had COPD and emphysema.
He was wealthy beyond belief, be interesting to see who gets the cash.
You're right, he would have fit in great here. Maybe I can try to reach out to other fucked up celebrities and see if they have an interest in signing up before the inevitable OD.
Charlie Sheen would be great. Mickey Rourke. etc.. Ric Flair might even make an appearance although he would like want to be paid. Jamie Gold. etc..You're right, he would have fit in great here. Maybe I can try to reach out to other fucked up celebrities and see if they have an interest in signing up before the inevitable OD.

The distribution of assets in such a case (where the deceased has no will, no spouse, and no children) is managed by the "intestate succession laws" where the deceased resided.
In this case, Matthew Perry lived in California, so we go by their laws. It is not clear if he had a will. If he did, then all of this discussion is moot. However, there is a decent chance he had no will, as many people who are single and childless do not, especially if they are not yet elderly.
In California, in the case of no will, intestate succession laws generally have this hierarchy for inheritance:
1a) Spouse
1b) Chiidren
2) Parents
3) Siblings
4) Grandparents
5) Aunts/uncles and nieces/nephews
6) Cousins
In order to inherit via intestate succession, you must be alive, and you must not have intentionally caused the death of the individual.
Also, in the case of spouses, they automatically inherit 100% of community property. Regarding separate property, the spouse gets 50%, and the children split the other 50%.
With all of the relatives listed above, they must be blood relatives, with the exception of adoptions, at which point the person is treated equally to a blood relative. Half-siblings are treated the same as full siblings. However, aunts/uncles by marriage are not entitled to anything.
Interestingly, you must remain alive 120 hours after the person's death in order to receive an inheritance, under intestate succession.
In Matthew's case, he has living parents and 5 siblings. His parents would inherit everything, after a probate process. Were they not alive, each sibling would inherit 20%.
It's ok to be right.
