Cash, code names, and greed were among the five individuals charged as a result of the Matthew Perry investigation
The ‘Friends’ star passed away from an unintentional overdose last year. The L.A.P.D. collaborated with federal authorities to determine how the star got hold of lethal levels of ketamine.
Many close to the 54-year-old Friends star thought Matthew Perry was doing well before he accidentally overdosed on drugs at his home in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on October 28, 2018.
The actor wrote about his crippling addiction to booze and opioids, which he abused for the majority of his adult life, in his memoir Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, published just a year earlier. His wry wit won him millions of followers worldwide.
He gave an explanation of his story to the public.
However, addiction, that deadly illness, never relaxed its hold. On the morning of his death, at approximately 8:30 a.m., Perry requested that his live-in helper, Kenneth Iwamasa, give him a ketamine injection. Ketamine is a Schedule III prohibited medication, meaning that only medical experts are authorized to administer it.
While watching a movie, the actor requested a second shot a little over four hours later. Perry then instructed Iwamasa to get his hot tub ready for use and give him a third injection, saying, “Shoot me up with a big one,” according to court documents that People was able to receive from the prosecution.
Iwamasa obeyed and went to perform errands from the $5 million walled residence. Perry was dead and lying face down in the hot tub when he came back that afternoon.
