Ketamine caused the actor's drug overdose death on 28 October 2023. Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty in federal court on 23 July to four felony counts of illegal distribution of the prescription anaesthetic. He is the first of five people to be sentenced in relation to Perry's overdose. United States District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett handed down the sentence in a Los Angeles federal courtroom. ”You and others helped Mr Perry on the road to such an ending by continuing to feed his ketamine addiction. You exploited Mr Perry's addiction for your own profit.”
