Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for his role in the ketamine-related death of actor Matthew Perry. Iwamasa pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death and was also ordered to two years' supervised release and a $10,000 fine. Iwamasa told the court he "will forever regret" his actions, and prosecutors said his provision of ketamine directly led to Perry's fatal overdose, highlighting criminal liability for supplying powerful anesthetics.
