It is reported that Perry on Oct.28 this year at the age of 54,was found dead in hot tub and the among the death contributors were the drowning , coronary artery disease and the major effect of “buprenorphine” the opioid .

The autopsy reports further disclose the facts as “At the high levels of ketamine found in his postmortem blood specimens , the main lethal effects would be from both cardiovascular overstimulation and respiratory depression.” .
According to investigators ,the level of ketamine found in Methew’s blood samples was the same as that would be in use during general anesthesia.
Similar findings were revealed by medica examiners and the toxicology reports detected that the levels of buprenorphine as “therapeutic levels” was of that state as in use to treat drug addiction and to relieve pain;Perry’s assistant as a witness said in a statement that he used to see a psychiatrist and was taking twice daily according to doctors advise.The evidence of sedatives were also found but without any finding of alcoholism or cocaine use.
Autopsy records disclosed new details on the day Mathew died.
Witnesses brought this fact to the detectives that Mathew had played pickleball at the morning at around 11:00 a.m. And his assistant leaves home around 1:37 p.m. to run errands and when he returns home at 4:00 p.m. he saw Perry “floating face down.” On seeing this ,the assistant hurried to call 911.And the rescue workers pulled out Perry out of the water tub and laid on the grass before declaring his death.
