Overview
- A bronze plaque inscribed "Much Loved Friend" now marks Matthew Langford Perry’s private crypt, listing his dates August 19, 1969 – October 28, 2023.
- The placement at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills was publicly noted in an Instagram post by Arthur Dark’s Hollywood Graveyard account showing the previously unmarked site.
- TMZ reported that the delay reflects both production time for bronze markers and the family’s earlier choice to keep the crypt unmarked for privacy.
- Authorities determined Perry died in October 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine, with the manner ruled an accidental drowning.
- In recent court actions, Dr. Salvador Plasencia received a 30-month prison sentence and Dr. Mark Chavez was ordered to eight months of house arrest with three years of supervised release, while Jasveen Sangha, Erik Fleming, and Kenneth Iwamasa await sentencing after guilty pleas.
