RIP. Outlived by Jimmy Carter. Could I BE any more surprised?

[SecondsCount]

Joey is going to be sad.

Drugs are a helluva thing.

...Supposably in his Jacuzzi...

Compared to most alternatives, this is a fine way to go. More of us should be so lucky.

[Guerrero]

Sad. I always liked Perry's work, and I thought he had gotten himself cleaned up.

It’s Chandler Bing.

It’s Chandler Bing.

Actually, it’s MISS Chanandler Bong.

I always enjoyed his work. Friends was good. I was especially fond of the two “Whole 9 Yards” Films /w Bruce.

Last interview or tv appearance I saw him in not too long ago,.. he looked Rough. Not drunk or sick, just Really rough looking for being only 50 sumpthin. I Thought he was clean & sober at the time, but I could see he had been a Hard, Rough Drunk.

I’ve known many ppl who obviously experienced a HARD road to sobriety. Hope he’s at peace!

You've never had to fish a body out of a hot bath or jacuzzi before, I'm guessing?

He didn't say it was good for the survivors or responders, just that it's not a bad way for the person doing the dying.

Ketamine. Wasn't expecting that.

The wife and I read that as still basically an accident.

[GearFondler]

The wife and I read that as still basically an accident.Agreed... I said to my wife that it sounded like a Karen Carpenter type of death where his body was just too broken down from years of abuse. Makes you wonder how the Keith Richard's of the world manage it... I guess genetics is the biggest factor.

I was given his history of substance abuse issues.

I do agree that it was probably accidental or unintentional.

I'm not surprised by it being drug related. Just a bit surprised that ketamine of all things was the substance.

Didn't realize it was that prominent in the substance abuse world. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert in substance abuse, recreational drug use world.

Yes, since the 90s. Aka “Special K”

I knew it as horse tranquilizer turned, recreational drug, and was surprised when I first found out the military was using it in lieu of morphine for trauma.

Vitamin K. Good anesthesia drug. Helps with pain, and is being used in low dose infusions for depression. Versatile, possible one of the most versatile anesthetic drugs, but does have side effects.

the medical examiner said the levels of ketamine in [Matthew] Perry’s body were in the range used for general anesthesia during surgery...The amount of ketamine detected 'would be enough to make him lose consciousness and lose his posture and his ability to keep himself above the water,' said Dr. Andrew Stolbach, a medical toxicologist"

There were kids selling and using it pretty regularly in my high school in the 90’s. Like HCM said in our area Special K (like the cereal) was the most common nickname.

PCP was the thing back in the 70's. It was crazy. (Literally.)

Special K was big for awhile. We were having a lot of animal vets/hospitals getting burglarized for it.
