The woman nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen” pleaded guilty to supplying the fatal dose that led to Friends star Matthew Perry’s death. She entered the plea in federal court and now waits for sentencing. Prosecutors said she faces several years in prison for her role in the Matthew Perry death.
How Ketamine Played a Role
Perry, 54, died at his Los Angeles home after taking a lethal dose of ketamine. The medical examiner confirmed the cause as an accident linked to the drug’s acute effects. Ketamine, once used mainly as an anesthetic, now appears in clinics to treat depression. At the same time, people abuse it recreationally for its hallucinogenic properties, contributing to tragic outcomes like the death of Matthew Perry.
The dealer knowingly gave Perry the drug despite his long struggle with addiction. Court records revealed that his ketamine levels were far higher than anything allowed in clinical treatment. This reckless supply directly contributed to the Matthew Perry death.
Global Attention on Perry’s Death
The case drew international headlines because of Perry’s fame and growing concerns over ketamine abuse. The guilty plea marks a turning point after months of speculation about how Matthew Perry’s death unfolded.
Perry, beloved worldwide as Chandler Bing on Friends, shocked millions with his sudden passing. Fans voiced both sadness and relief, grief over his loss but comfort that justice is moving forward.
Sentencing Still Ahead
The Ketamine Queen returns to court later this year for sentencing. Her plea deal shows she accepts responsibility for Matthew Perry’s death.
This case could shape how authorities handle illegal distribution of clinical drugs in the future. For many, the focus remains on remembering Perry, a talented actor known for his wit and honesty about his battle with addiction. His openness inspired countless fans facing similar struggles, and his loss, continues to resonate deeply.
