Dr. Salvador Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to four federal counts of distributing ketamine in connection with actor Matthew Perry’s fatal overdose in October 2023. Prosecutors allege Plasencia provided Perry at least 20 vials of ketamine via his Malibu urgent‑care clinic and through another physician in exchange for cash, and trained Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, to inject the drug. Texts reveal Plasencia mocking Perry as “a moron” ripe for exploitation. While he faces up to 40 years in prison, the fatal dose allegedly came from dealer Jasveen “Ketamine Queen” Sangha, who maintains innocence and will stand trial in August 2025. (PC: The Independent)
