The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner later determined that Perry’s death was caused by the “acute effects of ketamine” and that the opioid was present in his system.
The Friends star purchased Pacific Palisades for US$6 million in 2020 and made extensive renovations to the property, including installing a pool with a red LED bat signal on the pool floor.
The property’s new owner is real estate developer and film producer Anita Verma-Larian.
