Perry’s unsettling death sparked an investigation that ultimately led to the arrest of 42-year-old Scituate native Christopher Caron.
Caron, who allegedly tried to stage Perry’s death as a drug overdose after beating and strangling him, was ordered held without bail on a charge of murder in early September.
Caron pleaded not guilty to a charge of murder.
Days after Caron’s arraignment, The Grill Room and Bar in Portland, Maine, identified Perry as their head chef.
