Two doctors and the 'ketamine queen' charged in overdose death of actor Matthew Perry

Two other individuals, Perry's live-in personal assistant and a reputed narcotics distributor, were charged on Thursday in connection with Perry’s death last year from ketamine.

Two California doctors, a reputed drug dealer known as the "ketamine queen," an alleged narcotics distributor and Matthew Perry's live-in personal assistant have been charged in connection with the accidental overdose death of the actor last year, federal prosecutors said Thursday. After the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, his private physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for providing the singer with a fatal dose of powerful drugs. More recently, federal prosecutors in New York brought charges against four men who supplied actor Michael K. Williams with the fentanyl-laced heroin that killed him in 2021.
