Matthew Perry’s Doctor ‘Incredibly Remorseful’ Over Role in Actor’s Ketamine Death: Lawyer

Matthew Perry's doctor Mark Chavez appeared in court Friday as his lawyer said he's "incredibly remorseful" and "accepting responsibility."

One of the doctors charged in connection with Matthew Perry ’s ketamine overdose death made his first appearance in a Los Angeles courtroom Friday under his cooperation deal with prosecutors. Chavez, 54, stood with his lawyer and said he understands the single felony count filed against him for conspiracy to distribute the dissociative anesthetic without proper screening and monitoring. Later that day, Plasencia allegedly injected Perry with ketamine at the actor’s house and left vials behind for Iwamasa to administer with no formal medical training.
