The Friends actor was found unconscious multiple times, according to Kenneth Iwamasa, Matthew Perry’s former assistant, who entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.
Iwamasa acknowledged that he gave Perry “significant quantities of Ketamine”—roughly six to eight shots every day—in a plea deal that Page Six was able to obtain. This was the reason behind Perry’s death. The overdose caused Perry to be found “unconscious at his residence on at least two occasions,” he further disclosed.
The actor received two injections from the doctor on the day of his death, one at 8:30 a.m. and the other at 12:45 p.m. But, it is said that forty minutes later, Perry told Iwamasa to get his jacuzzi ready and “shoot [him] up with a big one,” which is code for a large amount of ketamine.
After doing some errands, Iwamasa returned to Perry’s estate and discovered the actor floating face down in the jacuzzi. It was determined that the incident, which shocked people all over the world, was an instance of accidental drowning.
But in relation to Perry’s demise, authorities last week charged a number of the late actor’s employees, including Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, Dr. Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, and Jasveen Sangha.
It is purported that Chavez and Plasencia plotted to profit more from Perry’s battles with addiction. “I wonder how much this moron will pay,” the latter allegedly texted the former, referring to the Friends star who reportedly paid $55,000 for the drug.
