Matthew Perry’s death case takes a new turn as fresh court documents have revealed new allegations against former assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa in connection with the actor’s ketamine case following his death in 2023.
According to prosecutors, Iwamasa purportedly attempted to remove traces linked to the ketamine supply network shortly after the late Friends star was found dead.
Federal authorities claim he directed another individual to discard of ketamine-related items, including vials and syringes, while also destroying paperwork and deleting digital evidence.
Investigators further claim that Iwamasa initially misled officials during the probe.
Prosecutors say he failed to disclose that he had administered several ketamine injections to Perry on the day of his death and later claimed the actor himself had concealed the drug containers.
Court filings also accuse Iwamasa of ordering the destruction of a ketamine prescription record and a handwritten note that reportedly named Dr. Salvador Plasencia as one of the drug sources.
Authorities referenced a phone conversation between Iwamasa and alleged intermediary Erik Fleming, during which Iwamasa reportedly admitted to “cleaning up the scene.”
Federal prosecutors are now pushing for a 41-month prison sentence ahead of Iwamasa’s scheduled sentencing on Wednesday.
Perry, who was also widely-known as Chandler Bing, passed away on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54 due to acute effects of ketamine use.
