The investigation into Matthew Perry’s death is reportedly “nearing its conclusion” as police believe “multiple people” could be charged in connection to the actor’s devastating passing, RadarOnline.com has learned.
This development comes after it was revealed that police allegedly questioned Brooke Mueller in connection to Perry’s October 2023 ketamine death, with a law enforcement source telling PEOPLE that the ongoing probe was “nearing its conclusion.”
A law enforcement official confirmed this week that the investigation into Perry's October 2023 death was "nearing its conclusion."
The law enforcement insider also claimed that the police investigating Perry’s shocking death believed that “multiple people” could be charged in connection to the matter.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney's Office – which will make the decision whether to press charges against the “multiple people” on the police’s radar – refused to comment on Tuesday when asked if the investigation into Perry’s death was “nearing its conclusion.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Perry was declared dead on October 28, 2023, shortly after he was discovered unresponsive in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades residence.
Emergency responders reportedly arrived on the scene following a cardiac arrest call but were unable to revive the beloved Friends star. They pronounced him dead at the scene. He was only 54.

The LAPD and the DEA were said to be involved in the investigation. It was also reported that key individuals in Hollywood were interviewed as part of the probe.

“It’s tough to say or know exactly what her role is,” the source continued regarding Mueller and her possible role in Perry’s passing, “but she’s adamant she had nothing to do with that.”
It was also revealed that Mueller and Perry “formed an unexpected friendship” after they “met in rehab” in the years before the Friends star’s death.
An insider explained that Sheen's ex-wife “had been in treatment with Matthew before" and that the pair "had a lot of ties in the acting community.”
“It was an unexpected friendship,” the source said, “but they leaned on each other.”
