Matthew Perry died nearly 10 months ago, but friends and family continue to honor the memory of his work, friendship and kinship.
On Monday, the verified "Friends" Instagram account reminded the world of Perry's soul on what would have been his 55th birthday, just five days after charges were filed in connection with the drug supply underlying his tragic end.
"On this day, we remember the light that was Matthew Perry," the account said in a post that included a photo of a young adult Perry in a jacket.
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles filed charges against five defendants alleged to have conspired to provide Perry with the party drug ketamine, according to the criminal complaint.Ketamine, an anesthetic, gained a following in the club scene in decades past because it has psychedelic properties. In more recent years it has been the subject of experimentation to treat depression and addiction, though it has not been approved for widespread treatment of either.
After Perry was found face down in a pool at his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office attributed his death to the acute effects of ketamine.
