Breaking news has emerged concerning the tragic passing of beloved "Friends" star Matthew Perry. On Thursday morning, multiple individuals were arrested and are now facing federal charges related to Perry's death, which has been attributed to ketamine.

According to sources, an early morning operation led to these significant arrests. The U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles, alongside the DEA, will be providing further details on the charges. Perry was found deceased in his hot tub last October, and an investigation, along with an autopsy, determined that ketamine played a major role in his untimely death. Although the drug is often used in medical settings to treat depression and as an anesthetic, it has also been misused as a recreational drug.

Initially, Perry's death was ruled an accident with no signs of foul play. However, multiple agencies, including the U.S. Postal Service and the Los Angeles Police Department, have been involved in an ongoing investigation to trace the source of the ketamine. Perry was not only cherished for his role as Chandler Bing on "Friends" but also for his openness about his struggles with depression and addiction, making him a relatable and beloved figure.
