One of the doctors charged in the investigation of the death of Matthew Perry is expected to plead guilty in a federal court in Los Angeles. Dr. Mark Chavez, 54, of San Diego, is set to plead guilty to conspiring to distribute the surgical anesthetic ketamine. This comes after signing a plea agreement with prosecutors in August.

Chavez is the third person to plead guilty in connection with Perry's fatal overdose last year. Prosecutors have offered lesser charges to Chavez and two others in exchange for their cooperation as they pursue two other individuals deemed more responsible for Perry's death.
