Dr Salvador Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of ketamine distribution in connection with actor Matthew Perry’s 2023 overdose death.  The charges carry a maximum sentence of 40 years. He’s expected to formally enter his guilty plea in court in the coming weeks. Plasencia, 43, was arrested with Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen” of North Hollywood. Both were named as lead defendants in an 18-count indictment. Three others, Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, Dr Mark Chavez, and Erik Fleming previously took plea deals in exchange for cooperation and testimony. Prosecutors allege Plasencia sold Perry ketamine, despite knowing that he was “spiraling out of control,” calling him a “street-corner drug dealer” at the doctor's arraignment last year. Perry died on Oct. 28, 2023, from “acute effects of ketamine.” He was found face down in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. Officials say Perry developed a ketamine addiction in 2023 while undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety at a local clinic that later cut him off. Prosecutors claim Plasencia and Chavez sold Perry 20 vials for $55,000. Chavez allegedly bought each vial for about $12, but charged Perry $2,000. Plasencia allegedly injected Perry at his home and left vials for his assistant to use, even though the assistant had no medical training.
