High Levels of Ketamine Found
After his passing, coroner reports indicated unusually high levels of ketamine in Perry’s system—levels typically used for anesthesia during surgery. This discovery prompted a deeper probe into his recent activities and led to a significant breakthrough.
Authorities Uncover Underground Network
A nearly year-long investigation revealed an extensive underground ketamine network, resulting in five arrests. Among those charged are medical professionals, Perry’s assistant, and Jasveen Sangha, an alleged dealer dubbed the “Ketamine Queen.” Sangha faces multiple counts, including drug distribution.
Details of the Operation
Sangha's North Hollywood residence, described as a "drug-selling emporium," was raided, uncovering over 80 vials of ketamine along with other illegal substances. Prosecutors allege that she sold Perry 50 vials of ketamine for around $11,000. The investigation also tied her to another fatal overdose in 2019.
Key Figures and Charges
Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who found the actor dead, has pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine. He reportedly administered the drug to Perry multiple times in the days leading up to his death. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who allegedly supplied ketamine, faces charges for falsifying medical records. Dr. Mark Chavez is also implicated in the case.
Impact and Implications
Authorities believe this case will highlight the dangers of illegal drug distribution and hopefully prevent similar tragedies. DEA head Anne Milgram stated that the details revealed in this case align with Perry’s wish to help others through his own struggles with addiction.
The investigation into Matthew Perry's death has not only uncovered a significant drug network but also revealed the high stakes of drug distribution in Hollywood. The case continues to unfold, shedding light on the darker side of the entertainment industry and its connections to illegal substances.
