Matthew Perry’s former personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, has admitted to finding the “Friends” actor “unconscious” on multiple occasions in the weeks leading up to his death.
Iwamasa administered the lethal dose of ketamine that killed Perry on Oct. 28 and recently pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death.
In Iwamasa’s plea agreement, obtained by Page Six, he revealed that he had injected Perry with “significant amounts of ketamine” “six to eight times per day” in the days before his death.
The former assistant said she found Perry “unconscious at least twice” at his home in October.
On the day Perry died, Iwamasa said he gave Perry injections at about 8:30 a.m. and again at about 12:45 p.m.
However, just 40 minutes later, Perry allegedly prepared a Jacuzzi and asked Iwamasa to “give me a big shot” — another dose of a dissociative anesthetic.
Those ended up being the actor’s final words.
After giving Perry his third dose of ketamine that day, Iwamasa left to run some errands, only to find Perry face-down in the jacuzzi a few hours later.
Last week, authorities announced that Iwamasa, Eric Fleming, Dr. Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plascencia and Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Queen of Ketamine,” had been indicted in connection with Perry’s death.
The “17 Again” actor had been using ketamine legally to treat depression, but began abusing the drug in September 2023.
Prosecutors allege that Plascencia provided Perry with liquid ketamine and lozenges and even instructed Iwamasa on how to inject it into Perry.
Plascencia allegedly recruited Chavez into the scheme in order to obtain more ketamine and profit from Perry’s struggle with drug addiction.
“How much will this idiot pay,” Plasenia allegedly texted Chavez.
In total, the “Fools Rush In” actor reportedly paid about $55,000 to doctors for medication.
Perry also purchased drugs through Fleming, who acted as a sort of middleman between Perry and the drug dealer, whose name was not released.
Court documents say all of the ketamine administered to Perry on the day he died was provided by Fleming.
Fleming pleaded guilty on Aug. 8 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distributing ketamine resulting in death.
Chavez also agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
Meanwhile, Plascencia pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, seven counts of distribution of ketamine, and two counts of falsifying and forging documents or records related to the investigation.
He faces 10 years in prison for each ketamine charge, and up to 20 years in prison for each count of falsifying records.
