Matthew Perry, known for his portrayal of the character of Chandler Bing on the NBC television sitcom Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2000, passed away on October 28, 2023, after he was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Autopsy and toxicology reports obtained on December 15, 2023, revealed that the actor’s death occurred due to the acute effects of ketamine, large quantities of which were found in his blood.

Following the report, the Los Angeles Police Department launched an investigation into the circumstances of the tragic event, indicting five people, including Perry’s Personal assistant, two doctors, and two drug dealers. However, in a surprising twist of events, one of the doctors charged has agreed to plead guilty.

According to a signed document filed in a Los Angeles federal court on Monday, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, an urgent care clinic operator in the Los Angeles area, has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine in exchange for prosecutors to drop three additional counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of falsifying records.

The plea deal was agreed upon after federal prosecutors obtained text message evidence which Plasencia shared with Mark Chavez, another doctor who had already pleaded guilty in the case, referring to Perry as a “moron” who could pay any amount just to lay hands on the drug.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia admits to supplying and administering Ketamine to Matthew Perry

In his plea agreement, Plasencia admitted that Perry had been getting a prescribed dosage of Ketamine through his doctor as a recommended treatment for depression. However, Salvador came into the picture when another patient connected Perry so he could get the drugs without a prescription or monitoring.

He stated that about a month before Perry’s death, he illegally supplied the actor with 20 vials of ketamine totaling 100 mg of the drug, along with ketamine lozenges and syringes. Plasencia also explained that he visited the late actor’s house twice and injected him with ketamine while also leaving some of the drugs behind, and showed Perry’s personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, how to inject it.
