Matthew Perry Murder: Shocking New Evidence – Officially Assisted with Ketamine Injection

Shocking new evidence about the circumstances that led to Matthew Perry’s death is coming to light, following revelations about the ring that supplied him with the substance ketamine. His long-time assistant is officially at the center of the case, since, as announced by the prosecution, he is the one who gave the famous actor the fatal dose of ketamine.

Beloved “Friends” actor Matthew Perry appears to have been led to his death after a doctor who was indicted Thursday prescribed him a fatal injection of high-dose ketamine two weeks before he was found dead of an overdose.

Salvador Plascencia is at the center of the charges along with fellow doctor Mark Chavez, Matthew Perry’s longtime assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, dealer Erik Fleming, and the so-called “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles,” Jasveen Sangha . All are accused of extorting hundreds of dollars from the 54-year-old actor for vials of ketamine, which cost as little as $12, according to authorities.

Plascencia, 42, was licensed to prescribe and administer the powerful sedative, but took the opportunity to tap into Perry’s penchant for substance abuse. In fact, he texted Iwamasa, “I wonder how much that fool is going to pay” for the ketamine as the actor spiraled out of control, according to the defendants.

But 16 days before the actor was found dead in the hot tub of his California home in October, the doctor appeared to relent when Perry suffered a severe ‘freezing’ episode and his blood pressure skyrocketed as he was given a high dose of ketamine.

Iwamasa, who lived with Perry and was his assistant since 1994, administered at least 27 doses of ketamine to his boss during the last five days of his life, including three doses that prosecutors allege led to his “death and to serious bodily injury”.

The assistant wrote in his LinkedIn bio: “I thrive in chaotic situations that require order. I am discreet, loyal and maintain absolute confidentiality.”

Iwamasa said on his LinkedIn profile that he worked for Perry for more than 25 years.

The doctors who prescribed the ketamine

By the time of his death, Perry was undergoing weeks of ketamine treatment for depression. When doctors at the clinic refused to increase his dose of ketamine, the “Fools Rush In” star approached Plascencia, Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Anne Milgram said Thursday.

Plascencia asked Chavez, 54, for help getting the drugs for Perry, he added.

From September until Perry’s death on Oct. 28, Plascencia and Chavez allegedly supplied him with about 20 vials of ketamine in exchange for about $55,000 in cash. Perry paid $2,000 for a $12 vial of the drug.

The doctor expressed a desire to become Perry’s “supplier” for drugs, authorities said. Iwamasa, who had no medical training, injected Perry with the drug based on Plascencia’s instructions.

Plascencia allegedly sold Iwamasa vials of ketamine for $6,000, even though he knew Perry’s addiction was becoming potentially fatal.

Authorities believe Perry’s final, fatal dose of ketamine was supplied by Sangha, dubbed the “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles.”

What charges will the alleged perpetrators face?

Plascencia and Sangha are both charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine.

Plascencia faces seven counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of altering and falsifying documents or records related to a federal investigation.

Sangha, who allegedly ran a hideout, has also been charged with maintaining drug premises, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine and distribution of ketamine.

Erik Fleming, Kenneth Iwamasa and Mark Chavez each accepted a plea deal pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death.
