Doctor Who Supplied Matthew Perry Ketamine Faces Sentencing

Prosecutors accuse him of exploiting Perry by reselling $12 ketamine vials for about $2,000 each.

Overview

  • He pleaded guilty in July to providing roughly twenty vials in the weeks before Perry’s October 2023 overdose and agreed to give up his medical license.
  • Prosecutors say he acted without legitimate medical purpose and cite a recovered text reading, “I wonder how much this idiot will pay.”
  • Authorities say he sometimes injected the drug at Perry’s home, including before a medical scare, and then left additional vials with the actor’s assistant.
  • He is not accused of supplying the specific vial tied to Perry’s death but faces up to 40 years in prison at sentencing.
  • A second doctor, Perry’s assistant, an intermediary, and dealer Jasveen Sangha have also pleaded guilty, with sentencings due in the coming weeks and Sangha’s hearing expected next week.
