Multiple people charged in connection to Matthew Perry’s death
Five individuals have been charged in connection with the 2023 death of actor Matthew Perry, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
The charges, announced Thursday morning at a news conference in Los Angeles, come after investigators say they uncovered an underground network of drug sellers and suppliers they allege are responsible for distributing the ketamine, a potentially deadly drug, that killed Perry.
The defendants include two doctors, Perry’s live-in personal assistant and a person referred to by authorities as “The Ketamine Queen,” according to a press release from the US Attorney’s office.
US Attorney Martin Estrada said the defendants “took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addiction issues.”
“They knew what they were doing was wrong,” Estrada said.
Three of the five charged have reached a plea agreement.
The other two defendants Dr. Salvador Plasencia, of Santa Monica, California, and Jasveen Sangha, who Estrada said ran what amounted to “a drug selling emporium” in her home, were indicted on Wednesday, the US Attorney said.
