Matthew Perry and Assistant Purchased More Than $55,000 Worth of Ketamine in Weeks Before His Death: Doc court

Matthew Perry’s former personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa admitted he found the “Friends” actor “unconscious” numerous times in the weeks leading up to his death.

Iwamasa administered the fatal shot of ketamine that killed Perry on October 28 and recently pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.

In his plea agreement, Iwamasa revealed he injected Perry with “significant quantities of ketamine,” totaling around “6-8 shots per day,” in the days before his death.

The former assistant said he found Perry “unconscious at his residence on at least two occasions” in October.

On the day of Perry’s death, Iwamasa said he injected the actor around 8:30 a.m. and then again around 12:45 p.m.

However, just 40 minutes later, Perry allegedly asked Iwamasa to prepare his jacuzzi and “shoot [him] up with a big one,” meaning another dose of the dissociative anesthetic.

It ended up being the "Friends" actor’s final words.

After administering Perry’s third shot of ketamine for the day, Iwamasa left to run a few errands — only to find the actor face down in his jacuzzi hours later.

Last week, authorities announced that Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, Dr. Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Jasveen Sangha — known as the “Ketamine Queen” — were all charged in connection to Perry’s death.

Although the “17 Again” actor had been using ketamine to treat his depression legally, he started abusing the drug in September 2023.

Prosecutors claim Plasencia provided the actor with liquid ketamine and lozenges and even taught Iwamasa how to inject it to Perry.

Plascencia allegedly roped Chavez into the scheme to get more ketamine and profit off Perry’s known addiction struggles.

“I wonder how much this moron will pay,” Plascenia texted Chavez.

In total, the “Fools Rush In” actor paid the doctors around $55,000 for the drug.

Perry also purchased the drug through Fleming, who acted like a middleman between the actor and an unnamed drug dealer.

According to the court documents, all of the ketamine administered to Perry on the day he died was provided by Fleming.

Fleming pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death on August 8.

Similarly, Chavez also agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. He is facing up to 10 years behind bars.

Plasencia also pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, seven counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of altering and falsifying documents or records related to the investigation.

Each ketamine-related count would give him 10 years in prison. 

Additionally, he could serve up to 20 years for each count of records falsification.
