In an emotional sit-down with the Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, Suzanne Morrison sat beside Perry’s other family members as she reflected on her relationship with her son, before his death last year following an accidental drug overdose from ketamine. “But he said, ‘I’m not frightened anymore.’ And it worried me.” Matthew Perry’s mother Suzanne Morrison recalls final conversation with ‘Friends’ star Guthrie noted the Today interview will mark the first time since Perry’s death that his loved ones have publicly “spoken about” his passing. The Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office later determined the cause was due to the “acute effects of ketamine.” Los Angeles authorities launched a seven-month investigation, uncovering the actor had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety. According to court filings, Dr. Salvador Plasencia allegedly supplied Perry with ketamine, while the actor’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, reportedly administered the fatal injection on the day of Perry’s death.
