"Friends" Star's Accused Supplier Confesses Guilt in Matthew Perry's Death
Medical professional confesses to the demise of Matthew Perry
Let's take a look at the latest development in the tragic demise of US actor Matthew Perry. It seems that one of the key suspects, Salvador Plasencia, has set a court date to admit his guilt next week.
According to the US Department of Justice, Plasencia plans to confess to distributing Ketamin in four separate cases. The potential sentence he faces is a whopping 40 years in prison.
Tempted by greed, Plasencia allegedly wrote in a text message, "I wonder how much this idiot will pay." He stands accused of providing Perry with the anesthetic Ketamin illegally, at exorbitant prices, in 2023, and administering it via injection. Authorities claim this contributed to Perry's untimely death in 2023.
Entertainment news outlets remind us of Perry's charisma as Chandler Bing in the iconic sitcom "Friends," and share poignant tributes from his co-stars on the first anniversary of his death.
Plasencia isn't alone in this case—he's the fourth of five defendants named. A second doctor, Mark Chavez, already pleaded guilty in October 2022. The fifth defendant, Jasveen Sangha, also denies the charges. Known in Hollywood circles as the "Ketamin Queen," she stands firm against the allegations.
Ketamine, used by doctors as an anesthetic and to treat depression, has found a sinister market among recreational drug users due to its hallucinogenic effects. Federal prosecutors allege that the five defendants exploited Perry's substance abuse issues to line their pockets.
Documents from the federal prosecution indicate that Plasencia had been illegally supplying Perry with Ketamine, providing injections and leaving Ketamine with instructions for use[3][4][2]. His actions are said to have fallen far below medical standards[2][3].
Making a living from the black market, Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of illegally distributing Ketamine[1][2][3].
