"Multiple people" should be charged in relation to the ketamine death of Friends star Matthew Perry, according to a report in the US on Wednesday.
People magazine quoted a "law enforcement investigative source" as saying the investigation into Perry's death is "nearing its conclusion" and charges could soon follow.
The US Attorney's Office is believed to have the final say on whether or not to press charges in the case.
Perry was found floating face down in the pool of his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023, after dying as a result of "acute effects of ketamine".
A criminal investigation into the source of the ketamine that led to the death has been ongoing since October. Perry was "reported to be receiving ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety," his autopsy report stated.
In December last year, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner closed its investigation into his death but questions had remained since.
In May, the LAPD told People after the medical examiner released its report, the LAPD began an investigation into the circumstances of his overdose death.
People also reported in May the department had been working with the Drugs Enforcement Agency and the US Postal Inspector to try and find where the ketamine that killed Perry had come from.
People said the DEA and LAPD had not commented on the claims, despite being approached to do so.
Perry's last known treatment was a week and a half prior to his death, according to the autopsy, well beyond the time it would still be in his system from the treatment.
The beloved Emmy-nominated actor enjoyed a decades-long career, most notably as the affable Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom Friends between 1994 and 2004, starring alongside Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow. He also appeared on the big screen in movies including Fools Rush In, The Whole Nine Yards and 17 Again.
