Dr. Salvador Plasencia, 43, has pleaded guilty in a Los Angeles court to four counts of ketamine distribution linked to the death of actor Matthew Perry. While Plasencia did not provide the fatal dose, he supplied Perry with ketamine in the weeks before the "Friends" star was found dead in October 2023. The doctor admitted buying the drug from another physician and selling it at inflated prices. Sentencing is set for December 3, with Plasencia facing up to 40 years in prison. The case involves five individuals, including the alleged “Ketamine Queen,” Jasveen Sangha, who has pleaded not guilty. (PC: NDTV)
