Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Matthew Perry's assistant found him unconscious 'at least' twice in the weeks before his death
Caption: Matthew Perry's assistant found him unconscious 'at least' twice in the weeks before his death. During October 2023 , Kenneth Iwamasa found the Friends star "unconscious at his residence on at least two occasions," according to new documents obtained by Page Six. Iwamasa gave Perry the fatal shot of ketamine that killed him on 28 October, and recently pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, admitting he had injected the 54-year-old with the drug without medical training. On the day of his death, Iwamasa injected Perry with a shot of ketamine at 8.30 am, then gave him another shot four hours later. In his plea agreement, Iwamasa revealed he injected Perry with "significant quantities of ketamine," often around "6 to 8 shots per day," in the days leading up to his death. The document also stated that Matthew had asked Iwamasa, 59, to "shoot me up with a big one" not long before he was found unresponsive in his hot tub. The court documents show all the ketamine that Iwamasa gave to Perry on that day had been provided by Erik Fleming and an unnamed drug source. Before he died, Perry had been having authorised ketamine-infusion treatment sessions for depression and anxiety, with the last official treatment a week before he died.
