The aftermath of Matthew Perry’s tragic passing at 54 has taken another wild turn—this time involving a lineup of characters that would make even Ross and Rachel raise an eyebrow.
Picture this: Matthew Perry, the beloved Chandler Bing, who once made us laugh with his sarcastic quips, is now making headlines for something far more sinister—his untimely death, linked to the “acute effects of ketamine.” Yep, you heard that right—ketamine, the drug that’s known for its psychedelic trips and not-so-happy endings.
According to the latest script (I mean, court papers), on that fateful day, Perry’s live-in assistant kicked off the morning with a ketamine shot at 8:30 a.m.—because who needs coffee when you’ve got ketamine, right? Four hours later, as Matthew was enjoying a leisurely movie marathon in his Los Angeles pad, the assistant returned for a sequel, administering yet another dose. And no, this wasn’t some bizarre method acting for a future role—it was just his morning routine, apparently.
Fast forward 40 minutes, and Perry, ever the enthusiast, decided it was time for a third hit. “Shoot me up with a big one,” he allegedly instructed his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who then dutifully prepped the syringe like it was another day at Central Perk. Oh, and just to keep things interesting, Perry also requested that his hot tub be prepared, because nothing says relaxation like a ketamine-fueled dip.
After serving up this dangerous cocktail, Kenneth decided it was the perfect time to run some errands. When he returned, however, the situation had taken a dark turn—Perry was found face down in the water, marking a tragic end to this bizarre chain of events.
As if the storyline couldn’t get any juicier, Kenneth wasn’t the only one cast in this real-life drama. Joining him on the docket are two doctors, a woman accused of being the resident drug dealer, and a mysterious acquaintance who’s been charged with acting as the middleman. The entire crew has been slapped with conspiracy charges for their roles in the distribution of ketamine.
So, while the Friends gang once dealt with everyday mishaps and relationship woes, this real-life story is a reminder that sometimes, the truth is stranger—and much darker—than fiction.
