"Friends" Actor's Tragic Demise: Accused Supplier to Plead Guilty
Medical professional acknowledges responsibility for Matthew Perry's demise.
Remembering Matthew Perry, the hilarious Chandler Bing from "Friends," as we mourn the anniversary of his death caused by ketamine overdose. The man supplying him with the lethal substance, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, is preparing to confess in court.
According to authorities, Plasencia will admit his guilt in four counts of ketamine distribution. Facing a potential sentence of 40 years, he shows no remorse, seemingly mocking his role in the actor's demise with a chilling text, "I wonder how much this moron will pay."
The Department of Justice states that Plasencia sold ketamine to Perry at inflated prices throughout 2023 and administered it through injections. This illegal practice led to Perry's untimely death, adding a tragic twist to the story behind the beloved TV star.
Amongst the group of defendants, Plasencia is the fourth to face the consequences, with Dr. Mark Chavez, a 54-year-old doctor, already confessing to his guilt last October. The identity of the fifth defendant remains unclear at present.
Matthew Perry passed away at his Los Angeles residence on October 2023, with the coroner reporting ketamine as the immediate cause. His struggle with addiction battles was well-documented, as he describe in his memoir published last year.
As the world remembers Perry, his "Friends" co-stars express their fondness and sorrow on the first anniversary of his passing. No man should meet such a fate, especially one who brought so much laughter into our lives.
