In the case of the death of ‘Friends’ actor Matthew Perry, a doctor held himself guilty in court on Wednesday. Doctor Salvador Plasensia confessed that he had given Perry a medicine called Catamine. This drug was given to Perry in a month before his death.
According to ‘The Guardians’ report, the case is going on in Los Angeles, USA. Plassencia is the fourth person who has confessed to blame in this case. Five people were accused.
Dr. Plasensia was earlier to face trial in this case in August, but last month he agreed to convict four allegations.
43 -year -old Dr. Salvador is a doctor living in Plasence, Malibu.
Dr. Plasensia only answered the judges’ questions in the court. When the judge asked if his lawyers had considered punishment and the rest of the possibilities, the doctor said, “He had thought everything.”
Earlier, Dr. Plassenia had described himself as innocent, but now after the agreement with government lawyers, he accepted four allegations. In return, allegations of three more catamine distribution and allegations of two records were removed.
Government lawyers said in the court that the deadly dose given by the doctor to Perry was not sold. However, it was reported that once Plassenia injected him, Perry suffered a setback and blood pressure also increased. Despite this, the doctor left ketamine and left to give the dose through his assistant.
Dr. Plasensia may be sentenced to a maximum of 40 years in these allegations. However, the doctor is likely to be punished less than this. He is out on bail since his arrest and will be sentenced on 3 December.
Matthew Perry is known for the role of Chandler Bing in the TV show “Friends”. He has worked in many TV shows and films.
So far, four people have confessed to blame in this case. Now only one accused Jasveen Sanga is left. According to government lawyers, she is a drug dealer and is known as ‘Catamine Queen’. He sold the dose to Perry from which he died. His trial will begin next month. He has described himself as innocent.
According to government documents and the confessions of the rest of the accused, Plasensia started giving them catamines a month before Perry’s death. He gave him about 20 viil (100mg) catamine, losenge and syringe to him.
Plasensia also admitted that Perry’s name was received through another patient. He also informed that he got Perry medicine with the help of Doctor Mark Chavez.
Matthew Perry had been struggling with drug addiction for a long time. He was troubled by this problem since the TV show ‘Friends’.
According to government lawyers, he sold these drugs to Perry for $ 4,500. After this, Plassenia had asked Chavez whether he could give further medicine to Perry so that he could become his Go-Two supplier.
Catamine is usually an anesthesia drug, but it is also used off-labeled in the treatment of depression. Perry was taking it legally from his doctor, but later he started asking for a large amount of it.
Matthew Perry died on 28 October 2023. His assistant Kenneth Ivamasa found him dead. Catamine was stated to be the cause of his death in the postmortem report.
