Matthew Perry’s tragic death was met with profound sadness within Hollywood and amongst fans for whom he played such an integral part in their lives during his 20 years as Chandler Bing. Perry’s noted drug dependence was at the heart of his cause of death, but his doctor has since taken a plea deal accepting culpability — giving people insight into the previously shadowy specifics of how erroneously doctors give out ketamine prescriptions.
ABC reports that Dr. Salvador Plasencia operated an urgent care facility in Malibu, and the DOJ announced that he is expected to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine that was directly involved in Perry’s death. The Friends star was found in his jacuzzi in late 2023, unresponsive, and his autopsy revealed that his cause of death was the acute effects of ketamine.
