Late "Friends" actor Matthew Perry's doctor, Salvador Plasencia, has pleaded guilty to illegal ketamine distribution. He faces up to 40 years in prison after admitting he supplied the star with drugs in the weeks before his death.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia, one of the doctors charged in connection with Matthew Perry's 2023 death, has agreed to plead guilty to distributing ketamine to the actor. He will plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine relating to Perry's death.

Prosecutors reported that Perry had paid $55,000 per day for six to eight shots of ketamine in about a month, doses supplied to him by Plasencia and others.
