NBC News reports:
A California doctor and a drug dealer known as the “ketamine queen” have been charged in a connection with the accidental overdose death of actor Matthew Perry, according to a superseding indictment unsealed Thursday.
Perry, 54, was found face down in the heated end of a pool at his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28, 2023. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office attributed his death to the acute effects of ketamine, an anesthetic with psychedelic properties.
According to an 18-count indictment, Jasveen Sangha, a North Hollywood resident who sold ketamine and other drugs, provided Perry’s assistant with the ketamine that ultimately led to the actor’s death. The assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, injected Perry with the drug on the day he died, according to the indictment.
