Kenneth Iwamasa, the live-in personal assistant to the late actor Matthew Perry, has been sentenced to 41 months in federal prison. The sentencing marks a significant conclusion to the legal proceedings surrounding the actor’s tragic passing in October 2023, when he was discovered unresponsive in his Los Angeles home.

Prosecutors revealed that Iwamasa played a central role in facilitating the actor’s access to ketamine. Despite having no formal medical training, Iwamasa worked in tandem with two physicians to procure more than $50,000 worth of the drug for Perry in the weeks leading up to his death. Iwamasa admitted to personally injecting the actor with the substance.

The case has drawn widespread attention due to the involvement of medical professionals in the distribution of controlled substances to a high-profile individual. The sentencing serves as a stern reminder of the legal consequences for those who enable substance abuse, particularly when such actions result in fatal outcomes.
