Matthew Perry’s Death: Five Charged, Including Doctors, Perry’s Assistant

The investigation into Perry’s death has led to five arrests and revealed an “underground criminal network.”

“The defendants in this case knew what they were doing was wrong,” said Martin Estrada, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, at a news conference held by the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. The suspects include physicians Salvador Plascencia and Mark Chavez, accused drug dealer Jasveen Sangha, Perry’s live-in personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, and Erik Fleming, an acquaintance of the actor. According to the DOJ, authorities discovered “79 vials of ketamine, approximately three pounds of orange pills containing methamphetamine, psilocybin mushrooms, cocaine, and prescription drugs” at Sangha’s residence following Perry’s death.
