When police arrived at Matthew Perry’s Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, they found the “Friends” actor dead in his hot tub — and his master bedroom suite in disarray, according to a source who has seen the crime scene photos from the investigation.
“It was a disaster,” the source told The Post. “The master suite looked like someone was in the middle of a long bender. Clothes everywhere, towels on the floor, just dirty.”
“But the rest of the house was clean, really neat,” the legal source continued. “Like maybe the cleaning lady wasn’t allowed in those bedrooms.”

According to the source, Perry’s room looked like it belonged to somebody “in the middle of a long bender.” WFLAPerry, 54, overdosed on ketamine and died on Oct. 28 at his Pacific Palisades, Calif., home. He was found floating face down in his hot tub.
Authorities have arrested five people in relation to his death, including his longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa.
Iwamasa is accused of administering at least 27 shots of ketamine to his boss during the last five days of his life — including three final shots that allegedly resulted in Perry’s “death and serious bodily injury.”
He pleaded guilty Aug. 7 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.

“Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha was charged in connection to Perry’s death. Iwamasa allegedly called her after finding Perry dead for guidance on removing drugs from the house.
Plasencia and Sangha have both pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. The other defendants are expected to testify against them.
Police searched all the cameras in the house, including the footage from the front door. None of the defendants other than Iwamasa were spotted at the home.
In a criminal complaint, federal authorities alleged that Iwamasa disposed of syringes, drugs and other paraphernalia before calling 911. He also called Sangha, allegedly to ask for her guidance as he removed the drugs.
“It looks like the bedroom and bathroom had been ransacked,” said the source. “It’s clear from just seeing the scene that something very bad had happened — and someone tried to cover it up.”
