5 people charged in connection with investigation into death of Matthew Perry
A prosecutor said five people have been charged in connection with Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose death last year, including the actor’s assistant and two doctors.
US Attorney Martin Estrada announced the charges on Thursday. He said doctors gave Perry a large amount of ketamine and even asked in a text message how much the former “Friends” star would be willing to pay.
“These defendants exploited Mr. Perry’s addiction problems to enrich themselves. They knew what they were doing was wrong,” Estrada said.
Perry died of a ketamine overdose in October. On the day of his death, he had received multiple injections of the drug from his live-in personal assistant. The assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, was the one who found Perry dead later that same day.
