Matthew Perry’s death was ruled a ketamine overdose. Then charges were filed against his assistant

When Friends star Matthew Perry was found unresponsive in his hot tub, it quickly went from an overdose to a storm that uncovered a Ketamine drug cell in Los Angeles. Now, the legal cases are drawing to a close, and the sentences are out. Kenneth Iwamasa, the former live-in assistant to the late Perry, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison and fined $10,000 on May 27th for his role in the actor’s fatal ketamine overdose.

According to PEOPLE, Iwamasa’s sentencing was attended by Perry’s mother, Suzanne Morrison, and her husband, Keith Morrison, after which, Iwamasa made a statement, “I’m so sorry to all of you. You all know how much Matthew loved you. I’m so sorry to have done illegal acts. I will forever regret it and I will take it to my grave and be a cautionary tale and make better choices than I did. I’m horribly, horribly sorry and I offer my condolences to you.”
