Former assistant and ex-girlfriend of Matthew Perry, Kayti Edwards, has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding the tragic accidental death of the Friends star on October 28, 2023. In an exclusive interview with The Mirror US, Edwards highlighted some troubling details about Perry’s passing. Charges have been brought against five individuals, including Perry’s live-in assistant and two doctors, with one doctor dubbed “the ketamine queen”, in connection with the investigation into his death.
Edwards expressed unease at the initial reports of Perry’s overdose, particularly noting that Perry, who had a fear of needles, allegedly allowed his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, to administer injections of drugs leading up to his death. Iwamasa has pleaded guilty to charges related to distributing ketamine causing death. Furthermore, a separate but related case involves other individuals facing charges in connection to the distribution of ketamine and falsification of documents during the investigation.
Edwards questioned the absence of drugs and drug paraphernalia at the scene of Perry’s death, suggesting that if such substances had been administered, evidence should have been present. The ongoing legal developments and recent arrests have added to the emotional turmoil for Perry’s inner circle. The lack of closure on Perry’s final resting place underscores the ongoing investigations into his passing.
In addition to the legal aspects, Edwards also touched on the potential exploitation surrounding Perry’s addiction, highlighting messages between doctors discussing profiting from Perry’s struggles with addiction. Despite these revelations, Edwards speculates that Perry would likely express empathy rather than anger towards those involved, taking responsibility for his own actions.
Reflecting on Perry’s personal life, Edwards mentioned his regret over a past relationship with Rachel Dunn, suggesting it may have been a triggering factor for his addiction. The legacy of Matthew Perry’s battles with addiction, his unfulfilled milestones, and the emotional toll of past relationships continue to shape the narrative surrounding his untimely death.
As the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death unfolds, Kayti Edwards’ insights shed light on the complexities and challenges faced by the beloved actor in his final days.
