The Death of Matthew Perry | Five Arrested

TIMESTAMPS
(10:49) - Matthew Perry Start

Celebrity Matthew Perry was very open about his decades-long struggle with addiction. He estimated that over the years, he had spent around $9m on rehab costs. At one point during his addiction, he was in a coma and on life-support for two weeks.

In 2023, Matthew seemed to be doing well. Even some of his close friends believed he was sober. Matthew had been getting legal ketamine treatment for his depression and his doctor thought that it was working well.

At some point in September 2023, things changed Matthew. He worked with his assistant of 25 years, Kenneth Iwamasa, to begin obtaining more ketamine illegally. They got the drugs from doctors and also from a drug dealer known as the ‘Ketamine Queen.’ Within weeks, Matthew had spent $55k on the drug,

On October 28, 2023, Matthew told Kenneth to ‘shoot me up with a big one.’ Kenneth did so and he then left to run errands. When he returned to Matthew’s home, he found the celebrity face down in his jacuzzi. Paramedics were called and Matthew was declared dead at the age of 54.

Five people have recently been arrested and charged in connection with Matthew’s death. His assistant is facing a possible sentence of 15 years in prison.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the tragic death of Matthew Perry. Who is to blame?
