The cause of Matthew Perry's death will remain a mystery for now as officials await the results of key tests before providing a definitive answer. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office has released the findings of an initial autopsy, but the cause of death is still pending toxicology results and further investigation, which could take several weeks.
The medical examiner's office has not indicated the manner of death at this point, although sources have revealed that an overdose is suspected and pills were found at the scene.
The autopsy report does mention that Perry died at his residence and that his body is now ready to be released to his family for burial or cremation. Law enforcement is currently conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
As previously reported, emergency responders were called to Perry's property on a cardiac arrest call, and he was found unresponsive in his hot tub.
The exact sequence of events leading to his death is still unclear, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Perry had played pickleball that morning before returning home, and his assistant found him later, prompting the 911 call.
