Investigation Into Matthew Perry's Death Involves Erik Fleming
News summary

Erik Fleming, a former film director and program director at the Red Door rehab facility in Bel-Air, is under scrutiny for his alleged involvement in the deaths of both actor Matthew Perry and patient William Cooney, who died from an overdose in January 2021. Fleming has been labeled a 'street dealer' by the Department of Justice for supplying ketamine to Perry's assistant shortly before Perry's death in October 2023. While Fleming was not present at the facility during Cooney's death, staff and former patients have claimed that inadequate monitoring contributed to Cooney's ability to obtain drugs. The Red Door facility's attorney stated they bear no responsibility for Cooney's death and maintain high care standards, despite previous investigations suggesting negligence. Brooke Mueller, connected to both Fleming and Cooney, is reportedly cooperating with the investigation into Perry's death, highlighting a troubling network of addiction and drug dealing within the entertainment industry. The tragic circumstances surrounding these cases raise questions about the efficacy of rehab facilities and the responsibilities of those who manage them.
