Matthew Perry's Sisters Say Assistant 'Left Him To Die' In Hot Tub Horror

Matthew Perry’s Sisters Break Silence On Assistant’s Role In Actor’s Death (Credit: AFP News)

Matthew Perry's sisters delivered emotional victim impact statements ahead of the sentencing of the late actor's assistant, Kenneth 'Kenny' Iwamasa, accusing him of repeatedly injecting the 'Friends' star with ketamine on the day he died in October 2023. The statements, submitted to the court and obtained by Page Six, painted a devastating picture of betrayal from someone the Perry family believed they could trust.

Perry's sister, Madeline Morrison, alleged that Iwamasa 'had injected my brother with a lethal dose of ketamine and left him in a hot tub to die,' while his other sister, Caitlin Morrison, questioned whether the fatal dose was accidental at all. Their mother, Suzanne Morrison, also condemned Iwamasa for failing in what she described as his 'number-one responsibility,' which was helping Perry remain drug-free. The emotional filings came as Iwamasa faced sentencing over his role in the actor's death, which authorities later ruled was caused by the 'acute effects of ketamine' alongside drowning and other contributing factors.
