Matthew Perry's harrowing last words

Matthew Perry, the star of ‘Friends’ died on 28 October 2023, aged 54. His death was caused by the ‘acute effects of ketamine’, an autopsy revealed last December.

According to People magazine, Perry's last words were a tragic request to his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. 'Shoot me up with a big one,' Perry told him, according to court documents filed.

Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's assistant, has admitted his guilt in the role he played in the actor's death. People magazine reports that Isamasa pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine that resulted in Perry's death.

Iwamasa, who had no medical training, injected Perry repeatedly with ketamine on the day of his death. The last injection was the third of the day and proved fatal.

The Justice Department has indicated that Iwamasa did not act alone. Four other individuals have been arrested and charged in connection with Perry's death, all facing felony illegal substance charges.

Among those arrested is Jasveen Sangha, known as the ‘Ketamine Queen’. Authorities allege that Sangha was one of the main suppliers of the drug that took Perry's life.

Also arrested were Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Dr. Mark Chavez. According to the Justice Department, both doctors are implicated in the conspiracy to distribute ketamine to Perry.

Erik Fleming, another defendant, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of the illegal substance that resulted in Perry's death, according to People magazine.

The Justice Department has stated that these individuals exploited Perry's addiction for profit, despite knowing the harm they were causing the actor.

The actor, who will forever be remembered as Chandler, had been very vocal about his struggles with addiction and had managed to recover in the past. However, he relapsed months before his death, which ultimately led to this tragic outcome.
