The hidden story behind Matthew Perry’s death
Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing in the popular TV series ‘Friends’, died suddenly in October 2023. His death occurred in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles home. Although it was initially reported as an accident, later investigations revealed that this was an incident related to the use of the drug Ketamine.
Background to the Ketamine Trafficking
According to investigation reports, Matthew Perry was taking Ketamine for depression, but the dose of Ketamine that caused his death was obtained through illegal means. Five people have been arrested in connection with this incident. Among them are:
- His personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa
- Dr. Salvador Plasencia
- Dr. Mark Chavez
- Eric Fleming
- Jaswin Sanga (known as the Queen of Ketamine)
Illegal Ketamine Trafficking
According to the investigation, the two doctors illegally supplied Ketamine, each vial costing about $12, which was sold to Perry for $2,000. Over a period of several months, Dr. Plasencia sold 20 vials of Ketamine for $55,000.
Final Days
Matthew Perry had been playing pickleball in his final days, and then his assistant Iwamasa gave him a dose of Ketamine and left. When he arrived a few hours later, he was found dead in the Jacuzzi.
Perry’s Legacy
Matthew Perry struggled with drugs for a long time, and he shared his experiences with the world in a book. He was willing to help others and spoke fearlessly about the suffering he suffered from drugs.
