Doctor pleads guilty in connection to Matthew Perry’s overdose death


Dr. Mark Chavez of California pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine to actor Matthew Perry, leading to his fatal overdose in 2023. Chavez had sold the drugs to Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who then distributed them to Perry. Chavez obtained the ketamine through fraudulent means and lied to distributors to sell the drugs. Chavez faces up to 10 years in prison and has surrendered his passport. Plasencia, Perry’s personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, and Jasveen Sangha, also face charges in connection with Perry’s death. The Drug Enforcement Administration alleges that each defendant played a role in Perry’s death through the illegal distribution of ketamine. Perry had been undergoing ketamine therapy for depression and anxiety, but the levels of the drug in his body at the time of death were dangerously high. The case highlights the dangers of prescription drug abuse and the importance of holding accountable those who exploit their positions of trust. The sentencing for those involved in Perry’s death is pending, with the judge overseeing the case scheduled to make a decision on April 2nd.
