As the investigation into the events leading up to Matthew Perry's death on October 28, 2023, continue, more details are coming out about the final days of the Friends star's life. After five people were charged last week for their alleged involvement in the ketamine overdose that ultimately led to Perry's death, his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, has shared what the actor's last words to him were. Iwamasa has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.

Iwamasa spoke in court about his role in Perry's death.
According to court documents obtained by People, Iwamasa entered a plea agreement where he shared his interaction with Perry the day he died.
He claimed that Perry said, "Shoot me up with a big one," before Iwamasa administered the injection that would lead to his death at 54 years old.
Iwamasa wasn't trained to administer ketamine.
People also reported that the Department of Justice claimed that Iwamasa "repeatedly" injected Perry with ketamine, even without any medical training.
Iwamasa, who pleaded guilty on August 15, served as Perry's live-in personal assistant. Perry's official cause of death was determined to be due to "the acute effects of ketamine."
More details have been revealed about Perry's final day.
In the plea agreement, Iwamasa said that he injected Perry with the first dose of ketamine at 8:30 a.m. on October 28, 2023, followed by another at 12:45 p.m. Perry allegedly asked him for another 40 minutes later and asked him to get his hot tub ready for him to use.

Perry was later found dead in his hot tub.
People reported that Perry's third dose of ketamine was administered while he was in or near the hot tub at his home. At that point, Iwamasa left to run an errand, and when he came back, he found Perry in the Jacuzzi, face down.
Between October 24 and October 27, Iwamasa said he administered between six to eight doses of ketamine per day.
Four others who are allegedly involved in Perry's death have also been charged.
Jasveen Sangha, who is known as "The Ketamine Queen," and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, have both pleaded not guilty to several charges. Erik Fleming, noted as one of Perry's associates, had pleaded guilty to two different charges: conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of ketamine resulting in death. The Justice Department said that a final suspect, Dr. Mark Chavez, is expected to plead guilty in the coming days.
As the one-year anniversary of Perry's death approaches, hopefully, this new information will help his family get closure.
