A doctor has plead guilty to selling Friends star Matthew Perry ketamine in the weeks prior to his death.

Dr Salvador Plasencia has admitted guilt to four counts of distribution of ketamine which is believed to have contributed to Perry's death.

On October 28, 2023, Friends actor was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home at the age of 54.

An autopsy report revealed he died of 'acute effects of ketamine' while subsequent drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine - used to treat opioid use disorder - were listed as contributing factors.
