The cause of actor Matthew Perry’s death at his residence Saturday will require additional investigative steps by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office before reaching a conclusion, according to records from the agency.
The medical examiner updated its online record for Perry on Sunday afternoon, listing his cause of death as “deferred.”.
The Los Angeles Police Department Robbery-Homicide Division is investigating Perry’s death, but a law enforcement source told CNN that no foul play is suspected.
On Sunday, the medical examiner’s records indicated the actor’s remains were ready to be released to his next of kin.
LAPD responded at 4:10 p.m. and characterized the call as a death investigation shortly after.
“Matthew brought so much joy to the world, both as an actor and a friend,” the statement said.
