Federal Indictments in Matthew Perry's Death

• 💡 Five individuals — two doctors, two drug dealers, and Perry's live-in assistant — have been indicted in connection with the actor's death.
• 🎯 Prosecutors allege the defendants exploited Perry's addiction for financial gain, prioritizing money over his well-being.

The Ketamine Supply Chain

• 🔑 Dr. Salvador Placencia initially supplied ketamine at exorbitant prices and instructed Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, on its administration.
• 💸 When the cost became too high, Perry and Iwamasa sought ketamine from street dealers, including Jasveen Sangha, known as "The Ketamine Queen."
• 💰 Sangha allegedly provided 50 vials of ketamine for $11,000 and instructed co-conspirators to delete messages after Perry's death.

Dangers of Ketamine Misuse

• ⚠️ Ketamine, a hallucinogen and anesthetic, is approved for monthly supervised use, but Perry reportedly received multiple daily injections.
• 🔬 Perry experienced a "freezing up" incident after an injection, indicating the severe physiological effects of the drug when misused.
• 📈 Dr. Placencia noted Perry's addiction was "spiraling out of control" but continued to supply the drug and falsified medical records.

Exploitation and Prior Deaths

• 🚨 Jasveen Sangha was previously linked to the 2019 ketamine overdose death of Cody McKellen, yet continued her drug dealing activities.
• 💬 Dr. Placencia made disparaging remarks about Perry in text messages, viewing him as an opportunity for profit.
• 💔 The case underscores the vulnerability of individuals with substance abuse disorders to those who prioritize greed over human life.
