Dr. Mark Chavez, one of the doctors charged in connection with the tragic death of actor Matthew Perry, is expected to plead guilty to conspiring to distribute the surgical anesthetic ketamine. The plea agreement was reached with prosecutors, making him the third person to plead guilty in relation to Perry's fatal overdose last year.

Chavez, aged 54 and hailing from San Diego, has agreed to cooperate with prosecutors in their pursuit of others involved in the case. This includes the doctor who worked alongside Chavez to sell ketamine to Perry, as well as Perry's assistant and an acquaintance who have also admitted to their roles in the incident.
