Brooke Mueller, the ex-wife of actor Charlie Sheen, is among those being questioned by the police. Mueller, who reportedly is cooperating with the authorities, has not been arrested but has engaged lawyers and participated in several meetings with law enforcement. According to sources, law enforcement officials executed a search warrant at her sober living house, where she has been reticent about her involvement or lack thereof in Perry’s death.

The details of Mueller’s connection to the case remain unclear, with sources close to her maintaining her innocence. The investigation into Perry’s death continues to unfold, with authorities piecing together the events that led to the tragedy.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released an autopsy report in December stating that Perry’s cause of death was the acute effects of ketamine. Additional factors listed in the report include drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine, a medication used for treating opioid addiction. Perry was found deceased in his hot tub by an employee at his home in Los Angeles.
