Ammon News - One of two doctors charged in connection with the drug overdose death of Friends star Matthew Perry pleaded guilty in a US court on Wednesday, October 2. Mark Chavez, 54, faces up to 10 years in prison after admitting to conspiring to distribute ketamine in the weeks before the actor was found dead in the pool of his Los Angeles home.

Appearing before US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett in a Los Angeles court, the bespectacled Chavez answered a series of questions before entering his plea of "Guilty, your honor."

Perry's lengthy struggles with substance addiction were well-documented, but his death in October 2023 sent shockwaves through the global legions of Friends fans. A criminal investigation was launched soon after an autopsy discovered the actor had high levels of ketamine – an anesthetic – in his system. Two others caught in the dragnet – a live-in assistant and an acquaintance – have already pleaded guilty to their charges.
