Matthew Perry’s Tragic Death Linked to Ketamine Overdose
Beloved “Friends” star Matthew Perry experienced a harrowing incident when a doctor injected him with a large dose of ketamine just two weeks before his fatal overdose. The doctor, Salvador Plascencia, was charged in connection to Perry’s death along with another doctor, Mark Chavez, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, alleged street dealer Erik Fleming, and Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles.” They are accused of exploiting Perry’s drug abuse for financial gain.
Plascencia, a licensed practitioner, took advantage of Perry’s vulnerability and spiraling drug abuse by profiting from selling him ketamine. Perry’s assistant, Iwamasa, administered a significant number of ketamine shots to Perry in the days leading up to his death, with some allegedly resulting in fatal consequences.
Perry had been undergoing ketamine therapy for depression and sought additional doses from Plascencia and Chavez after his clinic refused to increase his dosage. The doctors supplied Perry with vials of ketamine in exchange for exorbitant amounts of cash, exploiting his addiction and endangering his life.
The tragic chain of events leading to Perry’s death sheds light on the dangers of substance abuse and exploitation by individuals seeking financial gain. The individuals involved in Perry’s death are facing serious charges related to the distribution of ketamine and maintaining drug-involved premises.
The loss of Matthew Perry serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of drug abuse and the importance of seeking help and support in battling addiction.
