A former physician who supplied ketamine to Friends star Matthew Perry in the weeks before the actor died has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. Salvador Plasencia, known to Perry as “Dr P,” appeared before a judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday and surrendered straight after the hearing. His mother broke down in court as he was handcuffed, which set the tone for a heavy and emotional day, reported the Los Angeles Times.
Plasencia was also given two years of supervised release. Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett did not hold back as she told him, “You and others helped Mr Perry stay on the road to such an ending by helping feed his ketamine addiction. You took a Hippocratic oath to do no harm, but you did harm.”
