When police arrived at Matthew Perry’s Pacific Palisades residence on October 28, they discovered the beloved “Friends” actor deceased in his hot tub, with his master bedroom suite in a state of disarray, a source with access to the crime scene photos said as reported by the New York Post.
“It was a disaster,” the source said. “The master suite looked like someone was in the middle of a long bender.Clothes everywhere, towels on the floor, just dirty.”
Contrastingly, the rest of the house was reportedly pristine. “Like maybe the cleaning lady wasn’t allowed in those bedrooms,” the source added, reported the Post.
Perry, 54, succumbed to a ketamine overdose. His lifeless body was found floating face down in the hot tub at his California home.
In connection with his death, five people have been arrested, including Perry’s longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa.
Iwamasa faces accusations of administering at least 27 ketamine injections to Perry over the final five days of his life, culminating in three injections that allegedly contributed to Perry’s fatal overdose. Iwamasa pleaded guilty on August 7 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.
Court documents reveal that Iwamasa acquired over $55,000 worth of ketamine over nearly a month before Perry’s death, utilizing multiple sources to procure the drug.
Charges have also been brought against several others: Jasveen Sangha, identified as the “ketamine queen,” Dr Salvador Plasencia, Dr Mark Chavez, and drug broker Erik Fleming.
Fleming confessed in court documents to distributing the fatal dose of ketamine and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution resulting in death.
Dr Chavez admitted to diverting ketamine from his clinic to sell to Plasencia. Both Plasencia and Sangha have pleaded not guilty, with the remaining defendants expected to testify against them.
The investigation included a review of all cameras in the house, including ring cam footage, which did not show any of the other defendants, aside from Iwamasa, at the property. Federal authorities have alleged that Iwamasa disposed of syringes, drugs, and other paraphernalia before calling 911 and contacted Sangha for guidance as he removed the drugs.
“It looks like the bedroom and bathroom had been ransacked,” the source noted. “It’s clear from just seeing the scene that something very bad had happened — and someone tried to cover it up.”
