Matthew Perry’s doctor who gave him ketamine is jailed for 30 months
It has been announced that the doctor who gave Matthew Perry ketamine was handed a 30-month sentence in court today.
The actor, most known for his role as Chandler Bing in Friends, died in October 2023, at the age of 54 with an autopsy later revealing that he had been killed by ‘acute effects of ketamine’.
Following an investigation, five people were charged in connection with his death.
This included his live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, Dr Salvador Plasencia, Dr Mark Chavez and Jasveen Sangha, who was dubbed the ‘Ketamine Queen’.
In July, Dr Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty to supplying Perry with ketamine before his death, and on December 3 he appeared in court to be delivered his sentence.
Per the BBC, he was given a 30-month prison sentence following the trial.
It was also reported that he addressed the court during the nearly two-hour sentencing hearing and cried throughout his remarks.
Perry’s family reportedly requested from the judge that Plasencia be given a lengthy sentence.
The couple called the doctor the ‘most culpable’ and explained that they could not comprehend why he repeatedly supplied Perry with drugs.
He also publicly apologised to the actor’s family for the pain he inflicted, after Perry’s parents called Plasencia and other defendants ‘greedy jackals’ who profited off Perry’s vulnerability.
