Matthew Perry’s alleged “street dealer”once managed a high-end rehab center where a man overdosed, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Now that man’s family wants authorities to investigate whether there’s a connection.
William Cooney died from a mix of fentanyl and other drugs while he was a patient at the Red Door care facility, where Erik Fleming worked as a program director and sober living manager. The facility acknowledged that Fleming, who pled guilty in connection to Perry’s death, used to work there but said he was not working the day of Cooney’s death in a statement.
“Red Door and its founders bear no responsibility for [Cooney’s] death,” said an attorney for the facility, adding that it operates at “the highest levels of client care.”
