Keith Morrison, Matthew Perry's stepfather, is speaking up and calling for “justice” following the numerous arrests made in relation to the Friends actor's murder in October 2023.
Keith, 77, stated in a statement to People on Friday, August 16, “We were and still are heartbroken by Matthew's death, but it has helped to know law enforcement has taken his case very seriously.” “We're thankful for the outstanding work done by the agents from the various agencies who looked into Matthew's death, and we look forward to justice serving its full course.”
“We're hoping unethical suppliers of dangerous drugs will get the message,” the Dateline correspondent said after thanking law officials for their assistance in the case.
The Idiots' Hurry On October 28, 2023, the actor passed away at the age of 54 as a result of the acute effects of ketamine. It was disclosed that on August 15, five people—Jasveen Sangha, Kenneth Iwamasa, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, and Eric Flemming—were taken into custody for their “key role in his death.”
For the purpose of identifying Perry's source for the unapproved substance, TMZ claims that many law enforcement agencies carried out search warrants and confiscated “computers, phones, and other electronic equipment.”
According to the source, investigators were able to get text messages from suspects regarding the ketamine that Matthew desired, the means of delivery, and the price that the Massachusetts native was willing to pay.
Every accused individual had a significant part in his demise. Matthew Perry died tragically from ketamine that was falsely prescribed, sold, or injected, according to DEA Administrator Anne Milgram during a press conference later that day.
Dominic Choi, the chief of police in Los Angeles, assured the accused that they would be given “meaningful sentences” for their alleged offenses. During the news conference, he declared, “[Will] be an example for anyone that is willing to risk or jeopardize distributing and supplying unlawful narcotics to anyone.” ”
Regardless of your background or socioeconomic standing, you cannot get away with this. You are hazardous and putting lives in danger when you break the law.
Subsequently, law enforcement verified that the actor from 17 Again was dependent on intravenous ketamine before to his demise. Perry had been transparent about his battles with addiction and his use of ketamine infusion therapy as a means of treating his melancholy and anxiety.
A week and a half before he died, he had his last therapy session, which proved the dose that killed him was not legally prescribed because it would have left his system by then.
“Drs. Salvador Placensia and Mark Chavez broke the pledge they signed to look after their patients. To increase their profits, they caused harm rather than abstaining from it, as Milgram verified.
“In exchange for large sums of money, they supplied Perry with large amounts of ketamine without performing any medical evaluation or monitoring.”
Perry became addicted to ketamine at a nearby clinic, according to Milgram, and his desire for more of the drug was “faster and cheaper.” As a result, he started making purchases “from street dealers who sold the ketamine that eventually led to his death.”
