Update Nov 11:

– Matthew Perry’s death certificate has been released which shoes the actors time of death. Perry died at 4:17 p.m. Oct. 28 at his home in Pacific Palisades, California, near Los Angeles.

– A toxicology report was ordered shortly after Perry’s death. Dr. Michael Baden, former chief medical examiner of New York City, forensic pathologist and Fox News contributor told Fox News that the toxicology report should already be in:

“They’ve got pretty much 99% of what they’re going to get at this point as far as information goes, and they can release it now or they can wait for a couple more weeks because they’re looking for some unknown drug. I imagine what they’re doing right now is discussing the findings with the prosecutor and the family, and that in good time it will be when they should release the findings.”
