No arrests have been made yet, but it is believed that the individuals in question may possess valuable information that could lead to the source of ketamine. It is important to note that they are not necessarily the direct source themselves.
TMZ first reported that Matthew was found unresponsive in the hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023. His assistant discovered him and immediately called for help. When the first responders arrived, they determined that he had suffered a cardiac arrest and pronounced him dead at the scene.

The initial assumption that Matthew had drowned was proven incorrect when the toxicology report revealed that he actually passed away due to the acute effects of ketamine.
According to the L.A. County Medical Examiner’s Office, Matthew had been receiving ketamine infusion therapy for over a week as a treatment for his depression and anxiety. However, the medical examiner determined that the ketamine found in his system at the time of his death was not from the therapy.
Matt may have obtained ketamine from a different source, potentially outside of a medical facility. This is an aspect that law enforcement has been diligently investigating.
The federal authorities have previously assisted in the investigation of celebrity deaths related to drugs. They were involved in the case of Mac Miller’s overdose in 2018, which led to the indictment of three individuals for supplying the drugs that caused his death.
STARS GONE TOO SOON
In May 2022, Stephen Walter received a sentence of over 17 years in prison. He had taken a plea deal for providing Mac with pills containing fentanyl.
Ryan Reavis, the middleman responsible for delivering the drugs from Walter to Cameron Pettit, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison. Cameron Pettit’s case, who received the drugs from Reavis and then supplied them to Mac, is still awaiting a verdict.
