The Matthew Perry investigation reveals a shocking ketamine trafficking network, implicating doctors and the “Ketamine Queen” in the actor’s death. Key findings include drug distribution cover-ups, ties to a previous overdose, and the tragic role of Perry’s assistant. Full details expose the extent of criminal activities and ongoing legal actions.
The investigation into Matthew Perry’s death has unveiled startling details about a vast network of illegal ketamine distribution and cover-ups. Perry, the "Friends" actor, was found deceased in his Los Angeles hot tub last October. While initial signs suggested an accidental drowning, a coroner's report revealed dangerously high levels of ketamine, a medication Perry had been using for depression treatment.
Here are the five critical findings from the investigation:
- Underground Network Exposed: The investigation revealed a significant ketamine trafficking network led by Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the “Ketamine Queen.” Authorities allege that Sangha sold Perry 50 vials of ketamine, worth $11,000, and operated a high-end drug distribution hub from her North Hollywood residence.
- Involvement of Medical Professionals: The case brought to light the involvement of medical professionals in Perry’s drug procurement. Dr. Salvador Plasencia and other medical personnel were implicated in illegally supplying ketamine to Perry, with evidence of falsified medical records and exploitative practices.
- Attempts to Conceal Evidence: Following Perry’s death, those involved attempted to cover up their actions. Suspects sent messages instructing others to delete communications and falsify records, demonstrating a deliberate effort to obscure their criminal activities.
- Previous Overdose Ties: The investigation also linked Sangha to a previous overdose death. In 2019, another ketamine overdose victim, Cody McLaury, had reportedly purchased the drug from Sangha, who later sought information about ketamine’s role in causing death.
- Assistant’s Role: Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who administered ketamine to the actor, has been charged with conspiracy to distribute the drug, resulting in Perry’s death. Iwamasa lacked medical training and administered multiple doses of ketamine daily.
