Matthew Perry's Stepfather Reacts To Charges In Actor's Death: 'We Look Forward To Justice'
HuffPost
The Justice Department said five people have been charged in connection to Perry's ketamine-related death.
Matthew Perry’s stepfather, Keith Morrison, is speaking out after authorities announced two arrests Thursday in connection with the “Friends” star’s death in October, when Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine.
“We were and still are heartbroken by Matthew’s death, but it has helped to know law enforcement has taken his case very seriously,” Morrison, known for his work on “Dateline NBC,” told multiple outlets this week in a family statement.
“We look forward to justice taking its course and we’re grateful for the exceptional work of the multiple agencies whose agents investigated Matthew’s death,” he continued. “We’re hoping unscrupulous suppliers of dangerous drugs will get the message.”
The Justice Department said Thursday that physician Dr. Salvador Plasencia and a woman named Jasveen Sangha — identified as “The Ketamine Queen” of North Hollywood for allegedly dealing drugs — have been charged in Perry’s death.
The defendants, who each face one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, joined three other individuals charged in the matter — Erik Fleming, Kenneth Iwamasa and Dr. Mark Chavez — who’ve either already pleaded guilty or agreed to do so, per the Justice Department.
