“Give me a big one,” the Friends actor allegedly told his assistant Kenneth Iwamasa as his last words, according to a plea agreement signed by the latter and reported by Page Sixa branch of the New York Post Monday.
In the court document, Matthew Perry’s employee allegedly admitted to injecting Perry with “significant amounts of ketamine,” which he estimates to be about “6 to 8 doses per day,” before his death on October 28, the American media reported.
The latter now faces up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, alongside four other individuals accused of profiting from the actor’s addiction.
According to the plea agreement, the assistant admitted to investigators that he found Matthew Perry unconscious on two occasions after being given a dose of ketamine in the weeks before his death.
Despite this, he would not have objected to preparing his jacuzzi for him and injecting him with “a big” dose, at his request, only 40 minutes after injecting him with his second dose of the day, around 12:45 p.m., after a first around 8:30 a.m.
Except that once the actor was sedated, his assistant allegedly left the house to run errands for several hours, according to Page Six.
It was only upon his return that he reportedly found the actor floating face down in his jacuzzi.
Four other people have been charged in Matthew Perry’s death: Erik Fleming, a film executive who allegedly obtained the ketamine from him; Dr. Mark Chavez and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who allegedly conspired to make money off the actor; and Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Queen of Ketamine,” who allegedly supplied the drug.
According to the New York TimesFleming could face up to 25 years behind bars, Dr. Chavez up to 10 years and Dr. Plasencia up to 10 years for each count of ketamine-related charges, and up to 20 years for each count of falsifying documents.
Jasveen Sangha, for her part, could face between 10 years in prison and a life sentence if convicted, according to Page Six.
