Doctor to plead guilty to giving Matthew Perry ketamine before fatal overdose

# A Los Angeles doctor has agreed to plead guilty to giving Friends actor Matthew Perry ketamine in the lead up to his death from a fatal overdose. Prosecutors say Salvador Plasencia faces up to a maximum of 40-years in prison. He is among five people charged in connection with Perry’s death. The actor had been using the drug through his regular doctor in a legal treatment for depression but wanted more than his doctor would give him. Plasencia is accused of supplying the bulk of Perry’s ketamine in his final weeks.
