Authorities investigating the death of actor Matthew Perry have arrested multiple people in connection to his ketamine overdose death last year.
ABC News reported the arrests were made in an early morning operation Thursday, and a doctor was arrested.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on October 28 of last year, Perry was found face down in his hot tub, where he was declared dead by paramedics.
An autopsy released by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office in December of last year revealed Perry had a considerable amount of ketamine in his blood at the time of his death.
The Associated Press reported that federal prosecutors are expected to unseal an indictment later on Thursday to give more details on the individuals arrested.
