He was. I couldn’t finish his book. He always lapse back into his demons.
Sad and proof. That no matter your fame or monetary worth. Demons live among us.

Because he was wealthy, and a star, it is a big deal. As you said, demons live among us...all of us. Some will die mourned by few who knew them. Others will pass, mourned by thousands, and yet still only known by few.

Yes he would have. 😛 I didn’t know Keith Morrison was his stepdad. He will find out what happened. 😊

Here’s a weird coincidence. At just after 4 o’clock on Saturday afternoon I was in Corona Del Mar having just finished a long lunch at Javier’s. I went for a walk in the plaza and I passed Keith Morrison and his wife walking their dog

The 911 call for Perry came in at 4:06? I read an article yesterday that said that his assistant called the family right after the 911 call and before police showed up. Then I see an article yesterday with Morrison and his wife showing up at the scene. They literally must’ve gone from me seeing them to getting in the car and driving straight up there from CDM.

It just feels really eerie, knowing that he was dying literally at the time I’m sitting there, looking at his mother, talking about her teaching yoga…

The arrests were made in an early morning operation Thursday and include a doctor, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

Federal charges have been filed in the case and are expected to be publicly announced at a 10 a.m. news conference with the U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles and the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

In June, the investigation into the ketamine supplied to Perry before his untimely death was nearing its end, and law enforcement sources at the time told ABC News it would be up to the U.S. Attorney's Office to decide if multiple people could be charged as a result.

You know some people just can’t cast out their demons - they have too much of a hold on them. This was all caused by a SeaDoo accident. They put him on pain pills and then that started his downfall descent. See - SeaDoos are bad!

The "K Hole"....

Admitted into hospital, Tachycardia 220 bpm. Cardioversion(shock) done with this shit.
Out of body experience, bad trip...took me several days to get the "trip" out of my brain.
My chart now says do not administer.

We used to push Versed before we shocked. No recollection after.

Ketamine sounds scary as fuck.

In 05, when I wadded up, they tried to push pain meds on me. I refused, to the point of not hitting the button on the IV drip thing. They kept telling me it was bad to try and push through it. I kept telling them I'd rather hurt than be stoned and feel nothing. Closer to "parole", they kept saying "take these", and even prescribed some as I left. Over the past 19 years, I still haven't used them all, only for days it hurts too much to move.

The system seems geared to get people hooked. Some people, myself included, have addiction in our blood, and this will just feed it. There are people that need it to function, and I understand that. But there are also those that need it just because they need it. I think Perry was one of those.

The only times I have been on pain meds was for a kidney stone that put me in the hospital - they gave me morphine, it was a godsend from the pain - I could feel it go in from the IV, up my arm, over my shoulder, over my scalp, over my other shoulder, then I’d be out for a few hours. But I never had any want or need for it after they went in there to get the stones out - yes, they went through the pee hole. The pain relief after the surgery was the best feeling and no meds were needed afterwards other than the antibiotics and some other pill that made my pee orange. The other was Vicodin after my knee surgery, I didn’t like that, it made me feel an uncomfortable weird. I didn’t take any more after a couple of days, I just bore the pain. I guess some people just need that tweak in their body chemistry that ultimately becomes the demon of addiction. Matthew Perry had been to treatment centers multiple times, but unfortunately his grasp of addiction was too strong break free of.

I believe I am one of those people in some ways. I'll dig in, and grit my teeth. I know for me personally it can be a slippery slope. A lot of pain meds can bring on depression, that coupled with knowing you'll hurt if you stop them, can probably send you reeling. Hell, I don't even drink whiskey anymore.

When I had my accident I couldn’t help but pound the hell out of that button to administer the dope. It would only administer once every few hours but that didn’t stop me from hammering away at that button the entire time 😂

When I finally went home I’m pretty sure I saw the sun go down and come up for two weeks. Didn’t know it at the time but it was withdrawals. Spooky looking back on it.

I’ve got bottles of Norco and Vicodin in the medicine cabinet unopened from various “events”…getting hooked on that shit is the last thing I need.

Advil and Tylenol for me on occasion.

I have addiction on both sides of my family and started down a bad road with alcohol but I woke up one morning and decided to put a stop to that, I still drink but I average 2 drinks a month. I took all that shit after my accident 28 years ago and I was never hooked on it with the exception of when I was hurting I wanted it, if I was sore I took advil or tylenol. When I no longer hurt it sat. I didn't like how it made me feel and I didn't like sleeping all the time, guess I'm a bad tweaker🤣

More power to ya if you want to endure the pain after an injury and forgo pills. But geez, doesn’t anyone have the requisite intestinal fortitude anymore to moderate your intake and stop taking pills after they are not needed?

Worrying about getting hooked after an injury, I just don’t get it. And this BS narrative about this guy blaming a jet skiing accident for getting hooked on pills, seriously?? How about some discipline and personal responsibility, or is that too much to ask?

I really don't understand how addiction works, the chemical or mental aspects. Tweaker and dope fiends probably never intended to be consumed by their chosen drug, and I think the same of pill poppers. Each one looks down on the other, but really not much different.

I think pain meds are like anything else, the human body can develop a tolerance level. What had an effect at the start, doesn't at all later. When people may have had one Vicoden and felt buzzed for a few hours, they escalate to twice that quickly, to feel the same.

In my head, I figured dulling the pain would camouflage both improvement or decline.

In my simplistic world, I regard pain as your body sending your brain signals. It’s best to listen and not have pain pills interfere with those signals. If you can manage without, it’s best to, I agree with you.

Not going to read all the comments.
Just my simple perspective.
Every death due to this and other overdoses is heartbreaking for the family.


Now.

The only reason. Just like Michael Jackson this gets any airtime is because of who he is.
How do you think that makes the other 100’s of thousands parents/ family feel.
And then to gonna step a farther. He’s the one who asked for the super super dose.

That said. If doctors went out of their way to be compliant and didn’t honor their oath. Fuck them. Prosecute them.
