Headline: Matthew Perry's assistant jailed for 41 months

Caption:

TMZ report that the decision brings a close to a multi-year legal saga surrounding the Friends star's death. Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected Perry with ketamine, worked with two doctors to provide the actor with more than $50,000 (£38,000) of the drug in the weeks before his death, prosecutors said, noting that Iwamasa had no medical training. Perry was found dead in his backyard hot tub in Los Angeles in October 2023. Iwamasa pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, and faced a maximum penalty of 15 years in federal prison.
