Actor Matthew Perry's death was an accident caused by the "acute effects of ketamine", medical officials in Los Angeles have confirmed. The star was found unresponsive in the pool of his LA home in October, but a post-mortem examination was inconclusive at the time. The show followed six young friends living in New York City and aired from 1994 until 2004. At the height of his fame, Perry was battling with addiction to painkillers and alcohol, and attended rehabilitation clinics on multiple occasions. David Schwimmer, who played Ross, thanked Perry "for 10 incredible years of laughter and creativity".
