A California doctor received a prison sentence on Wednesday for illegally providing ketamine to actor Matthew Perry. The "Friends" star died from a ketamine overdose in 2023.
Dr. William Morris sold the powerful anesthetic to Perry at highly inflated prices in the weeks before the actor's death. A criminal investigation into that death is ongoing.
This case represents the first sentencing in the probe. Authorities allege a network of suppliers provided drugs that worsened Perry's addiction.
Morris faced charges of fraud for selling ketamine outside of legitimate medical practice. The court sentenced him to serve time in a federal prison.
