Well, it looks like the drama surrounding Matthew Perry’s untimely departure has taken a turn for the more dramatic. The spotlight is now shining on a real-life soap opera featuring a doctor, an assistant, and a drug dealer—sort of like a weirdly cast Friends reunion gone horribly wrong.
So here’s the scoop: Matthew Perry, who checked out of this world at 54 after a “very special” encounter with ketamine, has now led to a cast of characters being charged. And no, it’s not an episode of Law & Order; it’s the real deal. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada is now the newest addition to this soap opera, revealing the results of the investigation with all the flair of a dramatic monologue.
Estrada took the stage at a press conference, declaring, “The defendants here decided to play Monopoly with Mr. Perry’s health. They saw his addiction issues as a cash cow, and while they knew it was all kinds of wrong, they decided to roll the dice anyway. It was like they were more interested in making a quick buck than actually giving a hoot about Mr. Perry’s well-being.”
Now let’s meet the players in this twisted tale: Jasveen Sangha, our not-so-heroic drug dealer, is accused of selling ketamine to Perry and his assistant. Kenneth Iwamasa, the assistant who really should have stayed in the background, decided to play nurse and inject the stuff. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who apparently thought he was auditioning for a role in Breaking Bad, provided the syringe and had a history of providing the party drugs. Another doctor and one more mystery person are also said to be involved, probably auditioning for their own spin-off series.
Earlier today, it was announced that at least one of these characters has been arrested, so stay tuned for the next episode of this real-life drama. Our thoughts are still with Matthew Perry’s friends, family, and everyone who’s wondering how this episode will end.
