In a shocking development surrounding the untimely death of actor Matthew Perry, a California doctor is set to plead guilty to charges of supplying him with the controversial drug ketamine. Dr. Salvador Plasencia faces serious legal repercussions as federal prosecutors reveal the details of his involvement.

On Monday, prosecutors announced that Dr. Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine. This plea could result in a staggering maximum sentence of 40 years behind bars, with the court proceedings expected to unfold in the coming weeks.

Matthew Perry, beloved for his portrayal of Chandler Bing on the iconic television series Friends, tragically passed away at the age of 54. He was discovered in his hot tub in Los Angeles in October 2023. Perry had openly battled depression and addiction throughout his life, making his sudden passing even more heartbreaking for fans worldwide.

Text messages shared by prosecutors from Dr. Mark Chavez, another doctor involved in the case, revealed disturbing insights into Dr. Plasencia's mindset. He referred to Perry as a "moron" and questioned how much the star would pay for the drugs, raising eyebrows with his apparent lack of concern.

Court documents disclose that Dr. Plasencia not only injected Perry with ketamine at his home but also in a public setting—the parking lot of the Long Beach Aquarium. Details from the plea agreement indicate that he taught Perry's assistant how to administer the drug and sold extra vials for personal use.

Dr. Plasencia is one of five individuals implicated in what authorities describe as an underground network supplying Perry with ketamine. While Perry was prescribed the drug in legal doses to combat his depression, he reportedly sought more than what was legally allocated to him.

Between September 30 and October 12, 2023, records indicate that Dr. Plasencia sold twenty vials of ketamine and syringes to Perry and his assistant. As legal proceedings approach, the full extent of Dr. Plasencia's actions is expected to come to light, leaving many to ponder the ramifications of this tragic saga and its impact on the ongoing conversation about mental health and substance abuse.

As of now, Dr. Plasencia's legal team has not publicly commented on the case, leaving many questions unanswered.
