'Queen of Ketamine' supplied 51 vials of the drug to Matthew Perry; understand
A middleman who helped supply the drugs that led to the death of "Friends" actor Matthew Perry was arrested in California this Wednesday (13).
Erik Fleming became the fourth person to be sentenced in connection with the Canadian star's death. Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home in October 2023.
Fleming, 56, was sentenced to serve two years in federal prison, followed by an additional three years of supervised release, after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine and distributing it resulting in death.
"There was overwhelming evidence that Mr. Fleming provided the drugs that caused Mr. Perry's death," he told the court in Los Angeles Assistant Federal Prosecutor Ian Yaniello.
Last month, Jasveen Sangha, a British-American woman nicknamed the "Ketamine Queen," was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the actor's death.
Sangha worked with Fleming to sell 51 vials of ketamine to Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's personal assistant.

Iwamasa administered the substance to the actor on several occasions, including on October 28, 2023, when he injected at least three doses of ketamine provided by Sangha, which caused his death.
The assistant is expected to receive his sentence later this month. Two doctors have also been convicted.
Perry, 54, openly struggled with his addictions for decades.
The actor had been taking ketamine as part of supervised therapy for depression. But prosecutors claim that, by the end of 2023, he had become dependent on this substance.
