Overview
- A Los Angeles court sentenced Mark Chavez to eight months of home confinement and 300 hours of community service for obtaining ketamine that entered Matthew Perry’s supply chain.
- Chavez pleaded guilty in 2024, with prosecutors saying he used a forged prescription to acquire ketamine and then sold it to Los Angeles physician Salvador Plasencia.
- Plasencia, identified as Perry’s direct supplier, received about 30 months in federal prison earlier in December after admitting to multiple illegal ketamine distributions.
- Authorities say five defendants have pleaded guilty in the case, with sentencing for others expected in 2026, including Perry’s former assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, alleged dealer Erik Fleming, and Jasveen Sangha, the so‑called “Ketamine Queen.”
- The medical examiner found Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning, a heart condition, and an opioid‑treatment drug as contributing factors, and ruled the death an accident.
