A Los Angeles doctor received a 30-month prison sentence on Monday for illegally providing ketamine to actor Matthew Perry. The medical professional had previously pleaded guilty to the charge.
The unlawful sale occurred in the weeks before Perry's death in October 2023. The "Friends" star died from the acute effects of ketamine, according to his autopsy report.
This sentencing concludes a key legal case following the actor's passing. The court's decision underscores the legal consequences for medical professionals who misuse their authority to distribute controlled substances.
