Matthew Perryhis family remembers the deceased friendship star and looking forward to criminal process for two of the people charged in connection with his death.

In an interview broadcast on Today Monday show, the the one-year anniversary of Perry’s death at age 54 FROM acute effects of ketaminePerry’s mother Suzanne Morrison, his stepfather The date line correspondent Keith Morrison and three of his sisters – Caitlin, Emily and Madeline Morrison – looked back on Perry’s final days and what they will remember about their late family member.

Suzanne recalled feeling, shortly before Perry’s death, that “there was an inevitability to what was going to happen around him, and she felt that very strongly.”

“He went through a period, interestingly enough, right before he died, where he was showing me one of his new houses,” she said in an interview with NBC News’ Savannah Guthrie. “He came up to me and said, ‘I love you so much and I’m so happy to be with you now. And I’m so… It was almost like it was a premonition or something. I didn’t think about it at the time, but I thought, “How long has it been since we had a conversation like that?” It’s been years.”

In the days before her death, Perry told her mother, “Don’t scare me anymore,” she recalled, adding that it “worried her.”

Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home and the actor, who had has spoken extensively about his struggles with addiction over the yearshad a year before, in connection with the release of his memoirs, he said he was sober and seemed determined to stay clean.

Even after his death, those who knew him he said he was still awake.

But in Monday’s interview with TodayKeith wondered if Perry was still sober or, as prosecutors claim, had become addicted to ketamine.

When asked if they thought Perry was still awake and “on his way” when he died, Keith said: “we thought he was,” while Suzanne shook her head.

“Not for you?” he told her. “It sure seemed that way.”

Keith continued: “Even though he had been treated with ketamine, it didn’t turn into something he couldn’t control. Although he was a decision-making guy, “I can handle this, I can do this, I can tell you what’s right. I know the whole system inside and out. I know what the drug will do to me. So there was this concern: what does it really do.”

And Perry’s sister Madeline observed: “I don’t even know if in his mind he’s relapsed.”

Now, a year after Perry’s death, five people have been indicted and charged in an investigation into what happened to the actor, which has revealed a “vast underground criminal network.”

Three of them reached plea deals and are cooperating with prosecutors, while two of the accused, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and an alleged dealer Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Queen of Ketamine,” are to be tried in early 2025.

Suzanne said she was “delighted” by the allegations and Keith hopes the legal action will have an impact.

“What I’m hoping, and I think the agencies that were involved in this are hoping, is that the people that have gone into the business of providing people with drugs that are going to kill them — they’re now on notice,” he said. . “It doesn’t matter what your professional credentials are. You’re leaving, baby.”

Keith also hopes Perry’s experience will teach a lesson.

“What he taught the world is that no amount of money will cure an addict. Something else is needed,” he said. That’s what we’re trying to do (with the foundation).”

Perry’s family also spoke about the Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada, founded following the actor’s death in his native country, which is separated from American Matthew Perry Foundation but both organizations have similar intentions.

Perry wrote in his memoirs and spoke in the last years of his life about his efforts to help other addicts and how he hoped he would be remembered.

“He made it a major goal in his life to help others, to encourage others to say, ‘I need help.’ He tried to make people see that it was a brave thing to do,” said Caitlin, who is executive director of the Matthew Perry Foundation in Canada.

And Suzanne makes peace with her own limits when it comes to helping her son.

“I am a very lucky woman. But there was a glitch, there was a problem that I couldn’t – I couldn’t overcome. I couldn’t help him,” she said.

She added, speaking about her support for the foundation, “The one thing I have to learn — (and) the hard way — is that you have to stop blaming yourself. Because you don’t understand what your child is going through or what your spouse is going through. And you have to stop, because it’s tearing you up.”

Perry’s family talked about how they would still sometimes speak to him or feel the need to contact him a year after his death.

And his mother said fans continue to visit his grave, leaving letters about the “unbelievable” impact he had on them.

“Whenever I’m there, people will come to see him – even now. That usually goes away,” she said. “He leaves her very nice letters. For example, “I felt so sad. You helped me get through my teenage years.”

“Maybe I’ll release them someday so people can see,” she said of the notes. “But they really loved him, because they could relate to him.”
