Matthew Perry died under pretty tragic circumstances. And five people were arrested and subsequently charged in connection with his death.
In case you're not aware, he tragically passed away from complications arising from the use of k*******, which caused him to accidentally drown. Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Erik Fleming were involved in the distribution of the dangerous drug, giving Perry access.
But, his former live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, is the last person to be charged in connection with Matthew Perry's death. He was reportedly involved in the more personal side of Perry's dangerous relationship with the substance.
Court documents obtained by TMZ suggest Iwamasa "was the only person to see clear warning signs" of drug abuse. It added that he apparently found Perry unconscious several times in the month leading up to his tragic death.
They also say he personally helped Matthew Perry inject the drug several times. In a shocking turn of events, they even allege he administered the fatal dose on October 28, 2023.
Iwasama also apparently tried to cover up how he was helping Matthew Perry. The court documents say he removed and destroyed evidence of what his boss was doing.
Kenneth Iwasama plead guilty to a single charge of conspiracy to distribute k******* resulting in death as part of a plea deal. His sentencing is set to happen on May 27.

Iwasama May Get Prison Time For His Role in the Death of Matthew Perry
And, prosecutors have recommended a pretty serious prison time ahead of his sentencing.
They've recommended a 41-month prison sentece, as well as a subsequent 3 years of supervised release. That's almost 6 years total.
Of course, Iwasama wasn't the only one involved in the death of Matthew Perry. Four others have already been sentenced due to their involvement. The most recent was Erik Fleming.
He was convicted of sourcing the dangerous substance from a woman who called herself the "Queen" of the drug. According to the BBC, he ended up receiving a two-year sentence, alongside three years of supervised release.
The "Queen", whose real name is Jasveen Sangha, was sentenced for a much more strict 15 years for selling the drugs.
