Overview

• The film reviewed by the Guardian details prosecutors’ recent charges against five people accused of supplying ketamine tied to Perry’s death.
• Perry was found dead at his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023, with authorities later linking the death to the acute effects of ketamine and police initially reporting no illegal drugs at the scene.
• The hour-long ITV import uses archival material and interviews, including retired LAPD officers and the district attorney, to outline an alleged Los Angeles supplier network.
• One segment recounts an alleged text between doctors—“I wonder how much this moron will pay … Let’s find out”—to illustrate the profiteering described by investigators.
• In 2022, Perry said he “couldn’t wait” to become a father and expressed a wish to be remembered for helping people rather than solely for Friends.
