Charlie Sheen is now being dragged into Matthew Perry’s death investigation. Recently, it was revealed that Sheen’s former wife, Brooke Mueller, was a person of interest in the actor’s death. Perry died in October of 2023 due to the effects of the drug ketamine. Police then began to investigate how the Friends star obtained the drug that ultimately ended his life. Since that time, Mueller has been questioned and had her property seized as authorities look into her possible involvement. Now, Sheen’s lawyer is speaking out about the situation.
Both Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller have struggled with substance abuse over the years. Much like Matthew Perry, they’ve also sought out help for their issues. Sadly, Perry’s life tragically ended after years of working to get sober. Perry and Mueller reportedly met while they were in rehab and struck up a friendship. Now that friendship is under the spotlight. However, Sheen’s lawyer is speaking out, and appears to be defending Mueller amid the rumors and allegations that are circulating online, per In Touch Weekly.

“This extended family has worked hard to restore serenity to their ecosystem – to the great benefit of their children, attorney Gergory J. Pedrick says.
“I believe Ms. Mueller’s past choices may have put her in a position to provide some incidental, anecdotal background to the authorities investigating Mr. Perry’s death. Nothing more,” he added.
Meanwhile, Mueller is said to be cooperative amid the investigation. She’s reportedly been questioned multiple times and has hired lawyers to help navigate the situation. However, she is proclaiming that she had nothing to do with Perry’s death.
