NOTE

Charges in Matthew Perry's Death

Five individuals face charges related to the death of actor Matthew Perry, who died from acute ketamine effects. A criminal network, including a live-in assistant, go-betweens, two medical doctors, and a significant drug supplier dubbed the 'ketamine queen,' allegedly supplied the drugs leading to his demise. Jazvine Sonja, identified as the ketamine queen and arrested recently, is central to the case; authorities discovered a drug selling operation in her home. Additionally, Dr. Salvador Placencia, another arrested doctor, became involved after meeting Perry while he sought ketamine. U.S. Attorney Martina Estrada indicated that Placencia aimed to exploit Perry's addiction, showcasing unethical behavior in text messages and profiting significantly from the situation.
