It was no secret that Matthew Perry struggled with alcohol and drug addiction for several years. Before his passing, the "Friends" actor was vocal about sharing his journey with addiction and the struggles that came with it, per People. In 2022, Perry revealed he was sober but didn't admit to how long he had been on the sobriety journey. Because of his past and sudden death, many wondered whether his prior addiction played a role in his passing.

When Perry died, it was reported that there were no drugs at the scene. According to TMZ, however, the actor did have several prescriptions in his home that were all "stored in proper bottles" and prescribed for different health issues he faced. On the outside, to authorities, it didn't seem like drugs played a role in his death, but to be sure, coroners and medical examiners conducted an autopsy and toxicology report just a day after Perry passed away, per NBC. Initially, they said it would take weeks to get any results, but there have been new details released.

TMZ reports that a less in-depth toxicology report was done and discovered that meth and fentanyl were not found in Perry's system. These new results provide a sense of closure in one way or another, but authorities want the public to remember that they are still waiting for the more in-depth toxicology report to determine whether this is 100 percent accurate.
