RIP Mathew Perry

[cwbullet]

I resisted Friends, thought it was dumb for many years. My wife and girls have loved it since the beginning. Eventually, I have come over to their side. Resistance is futile . But seriously, as much as I hated it at first, I have come to appreciate and love that show. Godspeed Matthew, you are loved and missed.

I thought the same thing. My college roommates hooked me.

It looks like Ketamine and Buprenorphine likely contributed to Perry's death.

The article states the ketamine levels in his blood were what would be expected when it used for general anesthesia, but his last known ketamine treatment was over a week before his death. We use ketamine frequently for sedation or with intubation and I thought the dose we use for that is quite a bit higher than what psychiatrists are experimenting for depression and PTSD treatment.

Yes and I am not sure how they can rule out foul play on this one.

Very true - two curtains: 1. He is dead. 2. He has drugs in his system.
