One of the doctors who supplied ketamine to Matthew Perry In the last days of the actor of Friends In 2023 it will declare multipable distribution positions of the dissociative anesthetic.
Accused of Perry’s overdose at the end of October 2023, the Dr. Salvador Plasencia He reached an agreement with the Department of Justice. Since charges for four ketamine distribution crimes remain in force, Santa Monica’s doctor faces a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison. His trial was scheduled to begin in August in Los Angeles, but with the agreement announced on Monday, the trial is irrelevant to the imminent sentence.
Coping Perry, a lifetime addict, exorbitant prices for ketamine, plasence, resident in Los Angeles, and the Dr. Mark Chavezfrom San Diego, they clearly felt that they had found a gold mine with the actor and his desire for the drug.
Perry died on October 28, 2023 at the age of 54. His body was discovered in a jacuzzi at home.
In December of that same year, the Los Angeles County Forensic Physician’s office declared that Perry, who had had a public battle with drugs and alcohol, He died from the “acute effects of ketamine”.
A autopsy report also cited drowning, coronary heart disease and the effects of buprenorphine (a medication used to treat opioid consumption disorder) as factors that contributed to their death. In May 2024, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) informed Deadline that an investigation into Perry’s death was being carried out with the DEA.
We have seen the result of this research in recent months and today.
“As soon as possible, requested by the Office of the United States Prosecutor and provided by the Court, appear and declare its guilt of positions six, eight, nine and ten of the first formal replacement accusation in the United States against Salvador Plasencia, each of which imputes the accused for distribution of ketamine,” said the Federal Prosecutor’s Office for the Central District of California in a guilt agreement of June 13, made public on June 13.
Part of the agreement includes the promise of the federals to “recommend to the judge a two -level reduction in the applicable crime level according to the judgment guidelines.” This could help reduce the sentence of Plasencia to just a few years, perhaps.
The guilt agreement is signed by the attached federal prosecutor Ian Yanniello, the defendant himself and the lawyer of Plasencia, Debra S. White. In an attached statement, the Department of Justice claimed to clarify that Plasencia “It has not yet declared himself guilty (with capital letters)”. The federals added: “We foresee that you declare themselves guilty in the coming weeks. We will not make more comments.”
Prosecutors say in the guilt agreement that Plasencia did not provide Perry with drugs that would kill him in his Pacific Palisades almost two years ago.

Chavez and Perry’s personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasahe declared himself guilty previously and his sentence is scheduled for September and November, respectively. The former director of the treatment center, Erik Flemingwho was involved in the fatal dose, declared himself guilty in August of a conspiracy charge to distribute ketamine and a Ketamine distribution charge with death result.
