Excessive levels of ketamine were discovered within Matthew Perry's corpse upon his death.
In a plea deal, Kenneth Iwamasa, the “Friends” star’s helper, acknowledged injecting Perry with ketamine and disclosed his final words.
Following the charges against five individuals concerning the actor’s murder, court documents disclosed Matthew Perry’s final known statements. Perry passed away in October due to an unintentional overdose following multiple ketamine injections.
Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry’s live-in aide, stated that Perry’s final words were “Shoot me up with a big one.” According to a plea deal, numerous media sites leaked this information last week. Iwamasa pleaded guilty to conspiracy to sell ketamine causing death.
The “Friends” star, who passed away, battled drug addiction for many years. He wrote about his drug experiences in his biography titled “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.” On October 28, Iwamasa discovered the star dead in his jacuzzi.
People charged in connection with Perry’s death
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed in December that Perry had died from the “acute effects of ketamine.” The Department of Justice announced last Thursday that Iwamasa had admitted to “repeatedly injecting Perry” with the drug on the day that he died.
The other defendants charged in connection to the actor’s death include alleged drug dealer Jasveen Sangha and physicians Dr. Mark Chavez and Dr. Salvador Plasencia. A fifth defendant, Erik Fleming, said he obtained 50 vials of ketamine from Sangha and provided them to Iwamasa.
If Sangha is convicted, the court may sentence her to life in prison. The other defendants might receive terms ranging from 10 to 25 years.
In particular, investigators found that Plasencia had sent Chavez a severe message upon learning that Perry was contemplating buying ketamine.
Plasencia debated the appropriate amount to charge Perry for the ketamine in text messages to Chavez. “I wonder how much this moron will pay,” Plasencia said, according to a news release issued by the Justice Department on Thursday.
Iwamasa found the actor unconscious at his residence on at least two occasions in the weeks leading up to his fatal dose. In the same period, the Justice Department reportedly stated that Iwamasa gave Perry 6-8 shots per day of ketamine.
The actor’s stepfather, Keith Morrison, responded to the accusations. He said, “We were and still are heartbroken by Matthew’s death. It has helped us to know that law enforcement has taken this case seriously.””We hope that justice will be served.”
