Matthew Perry’s Assistant and Doctors Among Five Charged in Connection with His Fatal Ketamine Overdose

Matthew Perry’s Assistant and Doctors Charged With Getting Him Ketamine

Five people, including Perry’s Assistant and two Physicians, Face Charges in Connection With Star’s Death

According to authorities, the former assistant of Matthew Perry, two physicians and two other individuals have been indicted and charged with securing the powerful anesthetic ketamine that resulted in the fatal overdose of the ‘Friends’ actor.

A Network Unearthed

Investigators have uncovered a widespread clandestine network responsible for supplying large quantities of the potent anesthetic drug to Perry and several others. This network allegedly comprised Perry’s live-in assistant, several intermediaries, two medical doctors, and a prominent drug supplier referred to as the “ketamine queen”.

The Defendants

The defendants include Jasveen Sangha, infamously known as the ‘Ketamine Queen’ and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, also known as ‘Dr. P’. Sangha allegedly operated a “stash house” in North Hollywood, California, where substantial quantities of Ketamine were stored. Dr. Plasencia, an urgent care center physician, is charged with knowingly providing Perry with ketamine, comprising his long-standing struggle with substance abuse.

Perry’s Steady Decline

The actor, celebrated for his portrayal of Chandler Bing in the iconic TV sitcom “Friends”, was found lifeless in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home on October 28. A subsequent autopsy by the Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office confirmed that Mr. Perry, 54, succumbed to the “acute effects of ketamine”.

Conspiracy Charges and Closure

An indictment revealed that Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry’s personal assistant, had administered at least 27 shots of ketamine to Perry in the five days preceding his demise, with a minimum of three shots delivered on his final day. It further stated that the defendants employed coded language for drug transactions, with ketamine referred to as “Dr Pepper”, “cans” and “bots”.

The prosecution argues that the defendants knowingly prioritized self-enrichment over Perry’s well-being, even though they were fully aware of the inherent risks. Such actions have ignited public discourse about celebrity exploitation, the American opioid crisis, and the necessity for increased substance abuse awareness and prevention efforts.
