Matthew Perry Allegedly Tricked Young Women On Raya Into Giving Him Drugs

More shocking details about Matthew Perry's life and struggle with substance abuse have emerged following his death.

The actor, who died from ketamine and drowning at the age of 54, allegedly lied about his sobriety and would often sneak drugs into his home via hook-ups from the dating app Raya.

According to the reports, late actor  Perry was still on drugs while he was penning down his sobriety memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."

The "Friends" star had claimed in the book that he was sober after spending several million dollars over the years, trying to rid himself of the habit.

However, it turns out that Perry lied about his sobriety and had a special way of bringing drugs into his $6 million Pacific Palisades home despite having both a 24/7 nursing team and a live-in sober companion at his disposal.

"He would meet girls on dating apps and have them come over. There was a slew of 21 to 25-year-olds that he would meet on Raya. They would bring drugs with them," a source said of Perry's alleged antics.

They added, "It was mostly Oxycontin [a powerful opioid pain killer]. He would also get illicit drugs from old girlfriends, there was a kind of network."

As to how the ladies were able to sneak in with the drugs, the insider shared that they were able to do so because they weren't frisked before entering the actor's home.

"When nurses or companions are in someone's home, they do not have the same permissions as in a [rehab] institution. They cannot frisk visitors for drugs," the insider revealed to Dailymail.

It was also claimed that Perry would tell the girls that he "needed the drugs to treat his pain" as a means of convincing them, and when he had "burned them out," he simply moved on to the next person.

According to the source, Perry was never "never able to maintain any type of long-term sobriety," as instances of him "getting it together and being okay" were "followed by moments of weakness and of using."

In the end, an overdose of one of the drugs he indulged in led to his death. The actor was found unresponsive in his hot tub on October 28, which initially led to the assumption that he died from drowning.

However, upon the release of his autopsy, it was confirmed that the drowning was only a secondary factor, as he had a very high level of ketamine in his body at the time of his death.

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 medical toxicologist Andrew Stolbach in an interview with The Associated Press, per ABC.

He added, "Using sedative drugs in a pool or hot tub, especially when you're alone, is extremely risky, and, sadly, here, it's fatal."

Perry's autopsy revealed that he eventually developed an addiction to ketamine despite initially using it for therapeutic reasons.

According to the document obtained by The Blast, the actor's last known recommended ketamine use was 1.5 weeks before his death. It was also mentioned that the amount found at the time of his death could not have come from the treatment since ketamine's half-life is typically under four hours.

The precise method he employed to continue his substance use beyond the recommended therapeutic dosage for treating depression remains unclear.

According to a source, it was never Perry's intention to lie about his sobriety in his memoir when he was writing it. They claimed that he did so to convince himself that he could overcome his demons.

The insider shared: "I think with [his memoir], Matthew thought it would help him to get to the place that he was describing."

"He was writing about what he was hoping to be the situation as if he was already there. He was writing the script that he wanted."
