Harrowing new details about the tragic final days of Friends star Matthew Perry have been revealed as doctors and drug dealers were charged over his ketamine overdose death.
THE DETAILS
The actor was allegedly injected at least 21 times with drugs in the last week of his life – with a Hollywood dealer dubbed the ‘Ketamine Queen’ said to be among those involved.
INVESTIGATIONS SO FAR
Investigators have accused a group of people of preying on the vulnerable star’s addiction issues, with one doctor even labelling him a ‘moron’ shortly before Perry’s death on October 28 last year.
Five people including two doctors, a live-in assistant and the alleged ‘Ketamine Queen’ dealer have been arrested in connection with the tragedy.
They were taken into custody Thursday over claims they were part of a ‘broad underground criminal network’ supplying Perry with the ketamine that killed him.
Doctors Salvador Plasencia, 42, and Mark Chavez, 54, alleged drug dealers Jasveen ‘Ketamine Queen’ Sangha, 41, and Eric Fleming, 54, and Perry’s live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, have all been charged.
DEATH OF MATTHEW PERRY
Perry, 54, was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28 by Iwamasa, with his cause of death later determined to be ‘the acute effects of ketamine’.
