Federal prosecutors revealed a network involved in supplying actor Matthew Perry with the powerful anesthetic ketamine, exploiting his long-standing addiction to enrich themselves.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada stated that the defendants "took advantage of Mr. Perry's addiction to enrich themselves," highlighting the troubling nature of their actions leading up to his death.
The timeline shows that about a month prior, physicians learned of Perry's interest in ketamine and worked to acquire it, demonstrating an alarming breach of ethics.
Authorities noted that ketamine, while legal for medical use—especially in treating depression—can be abused recreationally, illustrating the seriousness of addiction and exploitation in Perry's case.
