Kenneth Iwamasa, the former assistant to actor Matthew Perry, has been sentenced to a term exceeding three years in prison. Iwamasa was accused of continuously administering ketamine to Perry on the day of the actor’s death. Matthew Perry’s life underwent a significant change in October 2023, following an incident where he drowned in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles residence, an event linked to a ketamine overdose.
Prosecutors alleged that in the days preceding Perry’s death, Iwamasa provided the actor with more than 25 injections of the drug, including a minimum of three doses on the final day. Reports indicated that the last request made by Perry to Iwamasa before the final injection was, “Give me a large dose.”
Iwamasa, aged 60, was the first of five individuals implicated in the circumstances surrounding Perry’s death to reach a guilty plea agreement with prosecutors in August 2024. The sentencing marks a key development in the ongoing legal proceedings concerning the overdose.
The legal actions focus on the pattern of drug administration and its direct connection to the circumstances of his passing. The sentence imposed on Iwamasa reflects the severity of the charges related to the care and administration of substances to Perry.
