The public has access to Matthew Perry’s last comments before he passed away from “the acute effects of ketamine” and was discovered in his hot tub.
According to recently revealed court records that NBC News received and published on Friday, August 16, Perry allegedly asked his assistant Kenneth Iwamasa for assistance in giving the medication three times.
The Friends star, who passed away in October 2023 at the age of 54, referred to the substance when he ordered Iwamasa to “shoot me up with a big one.”
Five individuals, including Iwamasa, have been indicted on federal charges pertaining to the actor’s death inquiry, the US Attorney’s Office announced on Thursday, August 15.
Perry passed away on October 28, 2023, as a result of the “acute effects of ketamine,” according to an autopsy. In addition to Iwamasa, charges have also been brought against Jasveen Sangha, sometimes known as “the Ketamine Queen,” Mark Chavez, Salvador Plasencia, and Erik Fleming.
Perry’s live-in personal helper, Iwamasa, entered a guilty plea to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine with the intent to cause death.
Iwamasa gave the actor three ketamine dosages on the day of Perry’s passing; the first dose was given at 8:30 in the morning, and the second one was given four hours later. Within forty minutes, he said, he gave the third dose, had Perry’s hot tub ready, and left the actor to run errands.
Perry was unconscious in the hot pool when Iwamasa got home.
Although prosecutors believe that Perry died as a result of those three shots, Iwamasa asserted that he gave Perry a total of 27 injections in the final five days of his life. Despite without any medical expertise, Iwamasa was according to Plasencia’s directions.
Iwamasa’s arrest “blindsided” and “saddened” friends and family, Us Weekly said on Thursday, August 15.
A close friend of Matthew exclusively told Us Weekly, “Matthew kept secrets.” “If Kenny was the only one who knew how bad it really was, I wouldn’t be shocked.”
Perry wrote his biography Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, which includes details of his earlier struggles, even though he may not have disclosed the full extent of his addiction just before his death.
In the 1980s, ketamine was a highly sought-after street drug. In his 2022 book, “There is a synthetic form of it now,” he claimed.
Perry clarified that in order to “ease pain and help with depression,” he would “disassociate” and take a prescribed ketamine therapy.
“Has my name written all over it—they might as well have called it ‘Matty,'” the actor continued. It was different, and everything that is different is positive.
