Dr. Mark Chavez pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiring to distribute the drug ketamine, a charge stemming from the death of actor Matthew Perry. The 54-year-old physician entered his plea in a Los Angeles court, where he faces a potential sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing on the iconic television series "Friends," was found dead in his home on October 28, 2023, by his live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. A subsequent autopsy revealed that ketamine was the primary cause of death. According to court documents, Perry had been using the drug six to eight times a day before his passing.
