Kenneth Iwamasa, the live-in personal assistant to Friends star Matthew Perry, has been sentenced to jail for his role in the death of the actor.
The 60-year-old pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death. He acted as Perry's drug messenger and admitted personally giving him between six and eight injections of illegal ketamine in the last days of his life.
Iwamasa, a longtime friend, was hired for the $150,000-a-year job because those surrounding Perry trusted him to help with the actor's sobriety. But he ended up being the actor's chief enabler.
