The live-in personal assistant to actor Matthew Perry has been sentenced to 41 months in prison, capping a multi-year legal saga surrounding the actor’s death.
Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected Perry with ketamine, worked with two doctors to provide the actor with more than $50,000 (£38,000) of the drug in the weeks before his death, prosecutors said. Iwamasa had no medical training.
Perry was found dead in his backyard hot tub in Los Angeles in October 2023.
