An insider close to the actor told In Touch Weekly that following Perry’s shocking death, Sheen is more committed to his sobriety.

“Matthew’s death shocked him to the core,” the insider said. “It’s served as yet another example of how difficult it can be for anyone who’s battled addiction to stay sober.”

Almost two months after Perry passed away, the authorities have come forward with the official cause of his death.

The LA County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that the actor died of acute effects of ketamine, listing the manner of death as “accidental.”

Perry, who was reportedly 19 months sober, was on “ketamine infusion therapy” and got his last treatment around 10 days before his death, according to the autopsy report.
