An antidote to addiction can be connection.
@markbeaudry4636
This is just another drug deal resulting in death which happens everyday except in this case it's Matthew Perry Hollywood Superstar.
@RockyB6969
Who’s responsible? He and the doctors that referred to him as “this moron” that he paid $55k cash for medical grade ketamine. It was a collective effort.
@Brandonyoungblood50
Just $55,000? Perry could buy an entire store of Ketamine, each day, if he wanted.
@CGD777
Matthew Perry is responsible for what he chooses to put in his body.
@Jbsutt
I hate you people with a passion. MATTHEW PERRY is responsible for Matthew Perry's death. Nobody else. You people are just kicking up that same ol' war-on-drugs bullshit agenda.
@Barbara-jq2se
I watched the TMZ Investigates: Matthew Perry & the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring. I just listened to what each person who was interviewed had to say about their own drug addiction/abuse situation. The description states: “From unscrupulous doctors to enablers & rehab centres, TMZ exposes the celebrity drug network that contributed to Matthew Perry’s death; Kelly Osborne & Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino open up to TMZ about their own struggles with addiction. Aired Sept 16, 2024. That’s it. Wow!
@Nancy-ko6bn
Who’s responsible? Matthew Perry! Sorry for his loss.
@billieleewilliams3186
So these concierge “Doctors” should just keep on going? Yes, the patient bears responsibility but the doctors have to say NO. This has happened too many times. 5:11
@pbth32
Ultimately he was the one wanting the drugs so no one is responsible for his death by himself. Obviously those others can carry charges for drugs distribution, etc but he killed himself, no one else 👐🏻
@ScarlettEmeraldASMR
He's responsible for his own death because he chose to continue to take drugs. Addiction is a choice. I quit alcohol,.pills- everything years ago and I alone made the decision to do better, want better. I saw how things were going crazy because of it, and I didn't want to be part of that anymore. Mental health is a lifelong battle, but ultimately that's why people turn to alcohol and drugs – mental health and situational issues.
@jackdavis8701
MATHEW PERRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MATHEW PERRY'S DEATH. The drugs he received were not laced with fentanyl or anything like that. He took too much of it, mixed it with opioids, and got into a Jacuzzi.
@nicks8026
You know who’s responsible for Matthew Perry’s death? It’s no mystery… Matthew Perry, duh!
@TrumpsKleptocracy2025
Matthew Perry is the ONLY one responsible for his own death!
@andrewdoran4572
Its all part of life choices folks, matthew, sadly, chose the wrong path in his personal life.
Everybody's life is unique, good, bad or indifferent.
I lost my Brother to alcohol, its hard to watch their downfall, but, it's their life at the end of the day and sonetimes no amount of help or advice will change their minds.
The last meaningful conversation i had with my Brother went like this………..
"Ste, you are gonna die pretty soon if you don't stop the alcohol"
His reply, " aye, i would rather die than give up"
Three weeks later, he got his wish.
Matthew's passing whilst incredibly sad, proves that alcohol or drugs abuse can and does affect people of all walks of life……..if you allow it to control your life.
@eldenringer6466
the trolls here are grotesque ….shame on you all
@earleboege5100
Why try and point fingers, the dude did it to himself!!
@rickA3127
Toxicology ruled his death was caused by cocaine, meth, herion, and ketamine. This seems more like a desperate witch hunt at this point.
@SkipLang-s6u
What about personal responsibility
@suzantomascik3556
He choose to do the drugs but the people who took advantage of a persons weaknesses for money should be held accountable for their greed and lack of humanity!
@Perpertua35
He is responsible for his own death.
@kyungshim6483
I'm afraid the next high profile victim we are going to hear about is the Tesla guy.
@Stryker20008
60,000? Ooooooooo
@Stryker20008
Don't have sympathy for rich drug addicts
@Stryker20008
Blame doctors but it's really on Matthew
@Stryker20008
Money fuels your demons
@Stryker20008
Matthew was responsible
@joannmay-anthony1076
Uh…..possibly Mathew Perry??????
@chrisvielle6629
We usually blame the crckhead, but fame is able deflect blame in this world.
@iwhippedcreamcode4642
Mathew Perry is Responsible For His Own Death! (He was Not A Victim!) But Enablers" need to Be Jailed also! (Did these "Doctors" Not Learn from The Micheal Jackson case?)
@lgroots8691
Um Matthew Perry is….this is fucking ridiculous
@FannySophiaBunn
Taking convenience of an addiction. They were aware of his addiction problems (addiction is initially a choice however becomes a biological dependency (dopaminergic reward circuitry – you can’t just choose to stop taking it). Ketamine has addictive properties. They were pretty much aware of its addictive properties as well as his addiction problems and took advantage of his circumstances. Was it his own fault? – partially yes. was it the others fault? – also yes (they facilitated/took advantage of his mental health state). It’s not that simple
@deltamovieshd9255
So, an autistic young man is accosted by officers, manhandled and subdued whilst EMT poison the lad with horse tranque (Kat), but the Police Autopsy claims "excited delirium" at first…..? Body cameras proving no reason to touch the guy, but they're on involuntary manslaughter at best. Mr Perry, a beloved actor is given such drugs for play time by his personal physicians at his request, everyone involved is on murder one charge? Not saying it's right, just pointing out how people get away with crimes.
