‘Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy’ looks into the ‘Friends’ star’s rise to fame and his harrowing final days. Matthew Perry received 27 shots of ketamine in his three final days, U.S. attorney Martin Estrada claims in a new documentary. However, “Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha is charged with supplying Perry with the ketamine that ultimately caused his demise.
“Dr. Plasencia was very clear in text messages… that he saw this as an opportunity to make a lot of money in a short amount of time,” Estrada says in the new documentary, “and he allegedly did just that.”. On October 28, 2023, Perry received his first shot at about 8.30 a.m. from Iwamasa. The second shot came four hours later and another was injected about 40 minutes after that, Iwamasa stated, according to a plea agreement.
“Shoot me up with a big one,” Perry reportedly told the assistant, before asking him to prepare his hot tub. After running some errands, Iwamasa returned to the home and found Perry facedown in the water. Later that same day, the indictment says Sangha messaged Fleming, writing: “Delete all our messages.”.
Both Dr. Plasencia and Sangha have pleaded not guilty. Their trials have been set for March 4 in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Iwamasa, Fleming, and Dr. Chavez have pleaded guilty and are awaiting sentencing. “In the past, we used to call these things overdose deaths and do more blaming of the victim,” says Estrada. “We don't do that anymore. We blame the drug dealers, the drug sellers, for taking advantage of those addiction issues to cause death or serious injury, and that's why we bring these cases. The big takeaway from this case is that when people involved in reckless activity, whether that be drug dealing or other activity, cause the death of others, there needs to be accountability.”.
