Matthew Perry’s Death : Doctor Admits Guilt Over Ketamine Distribution

In a significant development related to the death of actor Matthew Perry, Dr Mark Chavez has pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges involving the distribution of ketamine.

The plea was entered during a court appearance in Los Angeles on October 2.

As part of the terms, he has surrendered his passport, remains out on bond, and has agreed to cease practicing medicine.

Chavez is one of five individuals charged in connection with Perry’s death.

The actor had openly struggled with addiction, and the court heard that Chavez operated a ketamine clinic and sold ketamine lotions to Dr Salvador Plasencia, who subsequently distributed them to Perry.

Chavez admitted to supplying the drug through fraudulent means and collaborating with Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who also faces charges. Perry, who had long struggled with addiction, drowned after using ketamine.

Chavez faces up to 10 years in prison, though a reduced sentence is likely due to his cooperation. Three others, including Perry’s assistant, are also implicated in the case.
