Matthew Perry’s death certificate has been released, roughly two weeks after his passing. E! News reports that the certificate — released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health — lists Perry’s date of death as Oct. 28 at 4:17 p.m. at his residence in the Pacific Palisades outside of L.A. It also states that the Friends actor was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles. Finally, the document marks the 54-year-old’s cause of death as “deferred,” pending a toxicology report.
On Saturday, Oct. 28, first responders discovered Perry’s body after receiving a call to his residence. He was 54 years old at the time of his death. According to law enforcement sources who spoke with TMZ, initial tests determined that Perry did not have fentanyl or meth in his system at the time of his death. The outlet notes that more in-depth tests are being done as well, but it could take up to six months for results. While Perry had been open in the past about his struggles with substance abuse, PEOPLE reports that no drugs were found at the scene, and police do not suspect foul play.
