A number of new details have emerged in the case related to the death of Matthew Perry, the beloved "Friends" actor and recovering addict who was found deceased in a hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home in October of 2023.
On Thursday, authorities in Los Angeles announced that they had made five arrests in connection to Perry's death. The individuals arrested included two doctors — Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez — Perry's live-in personal assistant and a woman dubbed "The Ketamine Queen" by the LAPD. While announcing the charges on Thursday, U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said of the arrested individuals, "They knew what they were doing was wrong,” but “took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addiction issues to enrich themselves,” by distributing ketamine to the actor in the final weeks of his life, as noted by CNN. Estrada claimed that the group “cared more about profiting off of Mr. Perry than caring for his well-being."
