New details have emerged about Friends star Matthew Perry’s final hours after five people have been charged in connection with his death from the acute effects of ketamine.
According to court papers obtained by NBC News, Perry told his longtime assistant Kenneth Iwamasa to “Shoot me up with a big one” the night he received the fatal doses. Iwamasa, who pled guilty to various ketamine distribution charges in exchange for a plea deal, would inject Perry himself with the drug despite having no medical training.
After connecting with a doctor by the name of Salvador Plasencia, who connected Perry to the drug through “Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha in September 2023, the actor was receiving six to eight shots per day in the month leading up to his death on October 28, 2023.
