0:56Now PlayingFive people, including Matthew Perry’s personal assistant and a woman known as the “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles,” have been arrested in connection to the “Friends” star’s overdose death last fall, authorities announced Thursday.
Kenneth Iwamasa, Dr. Mark Chavez, and Dr. Salvador Plasencia are all facing a slew of federal charges, including conspiracy to distribute ketamine, the New York Times first reported, citing documents filed by the Central District of California.
Authorities also charged Perry’s friend Erik Fleming and Jasveen Sangha – an alleged drug dealer prosecutors claim was known as the “Ketamine Queen” – in connection with Perry’s death.
“These defendants took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addiction issues to enrich themselves. They knew what they were doing was wrong,” US Attorney Martin Estrada said at a press conference announcing the charges Thursday.
Perry, 54, was found floating face down in the hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home by his assistant on Oct. 28, 2023. He was declared dead by the paramedics called to the scene.
