Officials have revealed that Matthew Perry’s cause of death could take months to determine. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office listed the cause of death as “deferred,” saying it requires further investigation. Due to the ‘Friends’ star’s “celebrity status,” detectives have launched a preliminary investigation. LAPD Capt. Scot Williams says that while the cause of death may not be known for some time, foul play is not suspected at the moment. Perry was open about his struggles with drugs and alcohol, which many fans suspected had something to do with his death. The actor was found dead in his Los Angeles home after an apparent drowning.
