Prosecutors claim Matthew Perry’s assistant repeatedly injected the actor with ketamine on the day of his death
Kenneth Iwamasa, Matthew Perry’s assistant, admitted to conspiring to distribute ketamine that caused death. According to authorities, Iwamasa gave the actor narcotics several times on the day of his death.
Authorities are providing information about the alleged role that Matthew Perry’s personal assistant had in his demise. On October 29, the day Perry was discovered dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home,
Kenneth Iwamasa acknowledged, without any prior medical training, to injecting the Friends alum with many doses of ketamine, a controlled narcotic known for its dissociative effects. In the course of the inquiry into Perry’s death,
Iwamasa,59, entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, according to a news release issued by the prosecution on August 15.
He is one of the five persons prosecuted in relation to Perry’s death, which was originally attributed to “the acute effects of ketamine” in a drug-related mishap involving drowning. According to the DoJ, Jasveen Sangha, a 41-year-old known to the authorities as “The Ketamine Queen,”
is charged with five counts of ketamine distribution, one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine,
and one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine. In the meantime, 42-year-old Dr. Salvador Plasencia is accused of one count of conspiring to distribute ketamine,
seven charges of actually distributing ketamine, and two counts of forging and manipulating federal records or documents.
