Matthew Perry’s Shocking Final Hours, Demanded Fatal Injection
There have been multiple arrests in connection to the death of Matthew Perry. Two doctors, Perry’s assistant, and a woman who authorities are referring to as the “Ketamine Queen” are facing charges. United States Attorney Martin Estrada said that each defendant took advantage of the actor’s addiction problems and “knew what they were doing was wrong.” Three of the five individuals being charged have reached a plea agreement. The agreement submitted by Perry’s assistant is offering details about the Friends star’s final hours. Here is what has been revealed.
Matthew Perry Demanded More Ketamine Before His Death
Authorities arrested five people in connection with Matthew Perry’s death on Thursday. The plea agreement submitted by his live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, has uncovered some unsavory information about the actor’s final days and hours.
Iwamasa gave Perry a shot of ketamine around 8:30 a.m. on October 28. By 12:45 p.m., the actor asked his assistant to give him another injection. Then, he requested another shot about 40 minutes later. Allegedly, he told Iwamasa that he wanted him to shoot him up “with a big one.”
The Friends star’s assistant gave him a third injection while he was near or in the Jacuzzi. After that, he left the house to run some errands for Matthew Perry. When he returned, he found the actor “face down” in the Jacuzzi dead.
Not only did his assistant administer the shot that ended Perry’s life, but he also introduced the actor to Dr. Salvador Plasencia. He obtained ketamine from another physician, Dr. Mark Chavez, who previously ran a ketamine clinic. He used a fake prescription with a former patient’s name to get the drug.
In the indictments, text messages between the two doctors say things like “I wonder how much this moron will pay” and “Let’s find out.”
Plasencia taught Perry’s assistant how to administer the ketamine injections. Iwamasa also paid the doctor $55,000 for both ketamine lozenges and liquid ketamine from September 30 to October 28, when the actor died.
The Friends Star Had Adverse Reactions To Ketamine Previously
Prior to his death, Matthew Perry had adverse reactions to ketamine. On October 12, Dr. Plasencia went to the actor’s house with several ketamine vials. He’d already received a ketamine infusion from a doctor earlier that day. However, Plasencia gave Perry a “large” dose of ketamine.
After the large dose was administered, the actor had an “adverse medical reaction.” Perry’s systolic blood pressure skyrocketed and his body froze. He wasn’t able to speak or move. His assistant and Plasencia moved him to a couch.
Allegedly, Plasencia suggested they “not do that again” to Iwamasa. Before leaving, he gave Perry’s assistant more vials of ketamine for him to inject at home.
Eventually, Iwamasa started to look for other ways to get ketamine as the Friends star’s addiction began to get out of control. He got in contact with Erik Fleming who worked with Jasveen Sangha, also known as the “Ketamine Queen.”
“Just got this from my person,” Fleming told Iwamasa in text messages. “She only deal[s] with high end and celebs. If it were not great stuff she’d lose her business.”
According to the plea agreement, the Ketamine Queen allegedly kept a stash house in North Hollywood. The house was used to manufacture, store, and distribute various controlled substances.
On October 14, Fleming allegedly delivered 25 vials of ketamine to Matthew Perry’s home. He brought an additional 25 vials on October 24. Apparently, Iwamasa injected the actor between six and eight times every day from October 24 to October 27.
Before he died, Iwamasa found the actor unconscious at least two times during the month of October.
Three Out Of Five Defendants Submit Plea Agreements
Iwamasa pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death on August 7 and has already filed a plea deal.
Fleming is being charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. He has also agreed to a plea deal. Chavez also pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine as part of his plea agreement. He is expected to enter a plea agreement as well.
Sangha and Plasencia are each charged with charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. They have yet to file a plea agreement. Sangha is also facing additional charges, including one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and five counts of distribution of ketamine.
