The arrests were made as part of a narcotics investigation into Perry’s passing which pointed to the effects of ketamine as the cause of death. During a press conference on the same day, the US Department of Justice revealed that investigations into the star’s death uncovered a “broad underground criminal network” that “took advantage” of Perry by selling him ketamine.
Among the suspects arrested were Kenny Iwamawa, Dr. Mark Chavez, Jasveen Sangha, Dr, Salvador Plasencia, and Erik Fleming.

The Connection between the Five Suspects and Perry
In 2023, reports indicated that Perry had been living with his assistant, Iwamasa, in a Beverly Hills rental apartment before his death. The actor was paying $49,000 monthly rent while his Pacific Palisades home was being renovated. Imasawa, 59, lived with him there for a year.
Sources revealed that Iwamasa had managed Perry’s affairs for over 25 years and that he might have been the one who discovered the star’s body in his hot tub on October 28, 2023. Investigations further revealed that Iwamasa had been administering ketamine to Perry without proper training, which he is now being arrested for.

Dr. Chavez, a licensed medical doctor who previously operated a ketamine clinic, is reportedly being accused of assisting in obtaining the ketamine. Meanwhile, Sangha, known as “The Ketamine Queen” is accused of selling Perry the dose of ketamine that ended his life. It is believed that Iwamasa collaborated with Chavez and Sangha to obtain the ketamine for Perry.
Dr. Plasencia, another licensed medical doctor, is accused of distributing around 20 vials of ketamine to the late actor, while Fleming, an acquaintance of Perry’s and a “broker,” has already pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in Perry’s death.

A Facebook user, disappointed by how Perry was deceived, said, “This is just so sad.” Another reader shared that the news left them “Heartbroken.” The text message Plasencia sent to Chavez was part of an attempt to sell ketamine to Perry.

The US Attorney’s Office said Plasencia sent the text after learning of Perry’s interest in acquiring the substance. In 2023, Plasencia and Chavez texted each other while discussing the price they would charge the late star for the drug.

While Perry struggled with his addiction to the substance, Plasencia allegedly wrote to Chavez, “I wonder how much this moron will pay.” He reportedly continued, “Lets [sic] find out.”

According to the indictment, during the months leading up to Perry’s death, Iwamasa waited for ketamine to arrive from Sangha. Four days before Perry’s death, Fleming allegedly informed Iwamasa that the substance was “on its way to our girl.”

The person he referred to as “our girl” was reportedly Sangha. When news of Perry’s death broke, Sangha allegedly messaged Fleming, urging him to “Delete all our messages.”
Authorities revealed that the five suspects tried covering up their dealings by using code words like “cans,” “bots,” and “Dr. Pepper” to refer to ketamine. Plasencia was reportedly aware that Perry was risking his life.

A Telling Incident Weeks before Perry’s Death
According to reports, Plasencia knew Matthew Perry‘s life was in danger due to an incident 16 days before his death. During a press conference, Martin Estrada, a US Attorney, noted that on one occasion, when Plasencia injected Perry with the drug, something concerning happened.
After injecting the late actor, Plasencia saw him “freeze up, and his blood pressure spiked.” Estrada revealed that the doctor appeared concerned and advised Iwamasa, “Let’s not do that again.”
The investigation into Perry’s death is ongoing.Share
