Matthew Perry’s Mom Blamed In Friends Star’s Death, Last Days

Matthew PerryThe family remembers the deceased friends star and looking forward to criminal process for two people charged in connection with his death.

In an interview that was broadcast Today show on Monday, Art One year anniversary of Perry’s death at age 54 from acute effect of ketaminePerry’s mother Suzanne Morrison, his stepfather Date correspondent Kate Morrison and his three sisters — Caitlin, Emily and Madeleine Morrison — recalled Perry’s final days and what they remember of their late family member.

Suzanne recalled that shortly before Perry’s death, she felt that “what was going to happen to him was inevitable, and he felt that very strongly.”

“He went through a period, interestingly, right before he died, where he was showing me one of his new houses,” she told NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie. “He came up to me and said, ‘I love you so much and I’m so happy to be with you right now.’ And I was like… It was almost like it was a premonition or something. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, “How long has it been since we talked like that?” Years have passed.”

Days before his death, Perry told his mother, “I’m not afraid anymore,” she recalled, adding that it “troubled” her.

Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his home in Los Angeles and the actor who had has spoken extensively about his struggles with addiction over the yearswho a year ago, in connection with the release of his memoirs, said that he was sober and seemed committed to staying clean.

Even after his death, those who knew him said he was still sober.

But in Monday’s interview, Mr TodayKeith pondered whether Perry was still sober or, as prosecutors allege, addicted to ketamine.

When asked if they thought Perry was still sober and “on his way” when he died, Kate said “we thought he was” and Suzanne shook her head.

“Not to you?” he told her. “I certainly thought so.”

Keith continued: “Even though he was treated with ketamine, it didn’t turn into something he couldn’t control. Although he was a guy who made decisions, “I can handle it, I can do it, I can tell you what’s right.” I know the whole system inside and out. I know what the drug will do to me.” So there was excitement: what is he actually doing.”

And Perry’s sister, Madeline, remarked: “I don’t even know if he had a relapse in his mind.”

Now, a year after Perry’s death, five people have been charged in an investigation into the actor’s death that has revealed an “extensive underground criminal network.”

Three of them entered plea deals and are cooperating with prosecutors, while two of the defendants, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and alleged dealer Jaswin Sangha, known as the “Queen of Ketamine,” are scheduled for early 2025.

Suzanne said she was “delighted” by the allegations and Keith hopes the legal action will have an impact.

“I hope, and I think the agencies that were involved in this hope, that the people who are supplying people with drugs that are going to kill them are now being identified,” he said. . “It doesn’t matter what your professional credentials are. You’re falling, baby.”

Keith also hopes that Perry’s experience will serve as a lesson.

“What he taught the world is that no amount of money will cure an addict. It takes something else,” he said. That’s what we’re trying to do (with the fund).”

The Perry family also spoke about the Matthew Perry Canadian Foundation, established after the actor’s death in his native country, which is separate from Matthew Perry Foundation USA but both organizations have similar intentions.

Perry wrote in his memoirs and spoke in his later years about his efforts to help other addicts and how he hoped to be remembered as such.

“He focused on helping other people, getting others to say, ‘I need help.’ He was trying to make people see that it was brave,” said Caitlin, who is the executive director of the Matthew Perry Foundation in Canada.

And Suzanne puts up with her limitations when it comes to helping her son.

“I am a very happy woman. But there was one glitch, there was one problem that I couldn’t—I couldn’t overcome. I couldn’t help him,” she said.

Speaking about her support for the foundation, she added: “The one thing I’ve had to learn — (and it’s) really hard — is to stop blaming myself. Because you don’t understand what your child is going through or what your husband or wife is going through. And you have to stop because it’s tearing you apart.”

Perry’s family said they still sometimes talk to him or feel the urge to reach out to him a year after his death.

And his mother said fans continue to visit his grave, leaving letters about the “incredible” impact he had on them.

“Every time I’m there, people will come to see him — and now. It usually passes,” she said. “They leave him really lovely letters. Like, “I was so sad.” You helped me survive my teenage years.”

“Maybe someday I’ll put them out there for people to see,” she said of the notes. “But they really loved him because they could relate to him.”
