The shocking allegation comes as ex-gal pal Katyi Edwards, 47, implied Perry may have relapsed just prior to his death.

“I don’t believe he just drowned in his Jacuzzi, that doesn’t sound right,” she told the UK Sun.

“I know Matthew and I know that he wouldn’t have just drowned. I think he might have taken pills in the week leading up to this. They said there were no prescription painkillers at the scene, which doesn’t surprise me, because he didn’t leave drugs lying around. He was paranoid and would take them all, so there wasn’t any evidence, and then go out for more when he was ready to."
