Kenneth Iwamasa, Matthew Perry's longtime live-in assistant, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for his role in the actor's fatal ketamine overdose case.
Iwamasa pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine after admitting he injected Perry with the drug multiple times, including three injections on the day the 'Friends' star died in October 2023.
US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett criticized Iwamasa's conduct, telling him: 'You were privy to his struggle with addiction. Your conduct was reckless.'
Iwamasa, 60, had worked closely with Perry for years and was considered one of the actor's most trusted aides.
Court documents revealed that he admitted to injecting Perry despite having no medical training.
Perry's family described feeling betrayed by someone they had viewed as part of the family in victim impact statements submitted before sentencing.
