Revelations emerge in Matthew Perry ketamine scandal investigation

After the arrests resulting from the investigation into the death of Matthew Perry, more shocking revelations are emerging in the media. Recently, one of the news services published the text messages exchanged by the doctors who had been administering ketamine to the actor.

Matthew Perry had openly discussed his strong addiction to opioids and ketamine. In the book published a year before his death, he detailed his years-long, desperate fight with his demons. In "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," he described the lengths he went to to obtain drugs or medication. For instance, he would pretend to be interested in viewing houses for sale but immediately head to the bathroom to look for a medicine cabinet.

Ultimately, he lost the decades-long battle and was found dead in his pool on October 28 of last year. The investigation is ongoing, and several people have been detained, including his assistant and the doctors accused of prescribing, supplying, and administering ketamine to the actor.

Dr. Mark Chavez and Dr. Salvador Plasencia arrested

Us Weekly obtained the content of the messages the actor's doctors exchanged. In September, Plasencia wrote to Chavez that visiting Perry's house was like a "bad movie." In subsequent messages, the doctors wrote: "If everything goes well today, we can repeat the business," "Let’s do everything to make it happen." In October, the month of Matthew’s death, they expressed that it would be best if "Perry didn’t look for it elsewhere" so they could be the exclusive suppliers of the drug that was killing the star.

The actor’s assistant, who administered the injections, Kenneth "Kenny" Iwamasa, as well as Jasveen Sangha, nicknamed the "Ketamine Queen," and Erik Fleming, a former filmmaker who later became one of the actor’s dealers, are also in custody.
