Two doctors and three others including a personal assistant to Matthew Perry have been charged with supplying the “Friends” star with ketamine, the powerful sedative that caused his overdose death nearly a year ago, authorities said on Thursday.

Two of the defendants - Jasveen Sangha, 41, and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, 42 - pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday. Iwamasa, who lived with Perry, admitted to repeatedly injecting the actor with ketamine including multiple times on the day he died, according to court documents. He has pleaded guilty to one criminal count.

Authorities said Plasencia obtained ketamine from Dr. Mark Chavez, 54. In text messages to Chavez, Plasencia discussed how much to charge Perry for the drug, stating, “I wonder how much this moron will pay.” Perry died at age 54 from “acute effects” of ketamine and other factors that caused him to lose consciousness and drown in his hot tub, a December 2023 autopsy report said.
