2 doctors arrested in Matthew Perry death
The five arrested include Jasveen Sangha (41), known as the “Ketamine Queen” of North Hollywood, Dr. Salvador Plasencia (42), Eric Fleming (54), Dr. Mark Chavez (54) and Kenneth Iwamasa (59), who was Perry's assistant and allegedly conspired with the others to obtain and distribute ketamine to Perry.
Fleming also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of ketamine resulting in death earlier this month.
The attorney says the group is part of a "broad criminal underground network" and supplied ketamine to Perry and others. "These defendants took advantage of Mr. Perry's addiction problems to enrich themselves. They knew what they were doing was wrong," Estrada said (via Deadline).
