Overview
- The bronze marker reads “Matthew Langford Perry,” lists his birth and death dates, and concludes with “Much Loved Friend.”
- The plaque at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills was first shown in a photo posted by Arthur Dark of the Hollywood Graveyard account.
- Perry’s wall crypt had remained unmarked for two years, a choice attributed to family privacy with bronze fabrication often taking time.
- The autopsy determined his 2023 death resulted from the acute effects of ketamine with the manner ruled an accidental drowning.
- Two doctors were sentenced for supplying ketamine to Perry—Salvador Plasencia to 30 months in prison and Mark Chavez to eight months of home confinement with three years’ supervision—while Jasveen Sangha, Erik Fleming, and Kenneth Iwamasa await sentencing after guilty pleas.
