The final days of actor Matthew Perry’s life were marked by a desperate search for ketamine, the drug that ultimately led to his death. A 2 1/2-year investigation and prosecution concluded recently with the sentencing of his personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who procured the drugs, administered injections, and discovered Perry deceased in his hot tub on October 23, 2023. The 54-year-old "Friends" star had reportedly instructed Iwamasa to inject him "with a big one."
