Kenneth Iwamasa was sentenced to six months in prison following his conviction for supplying ketamine, contributing to the death of actor Matthew Perry. CNN reports that Iwamasa was the last person to see the deceased actor alive and subsequently discovered him unresponsive. The sentencing aligns with the prosecution’s initial demands.
Matthew Perry’s mother and grandmother were present during the proceedings. Iwamasa initially pleaded guilty to distributing the ketamine, subsequently becoming a key witness for the prosecution. His legal team had sought a reduced sentence, arguing that he was acting under the direction of his employer.
Central to the court’s decision was testimony from Perry’s family members, who expressed their belief that Iwamasa was assisting the actor in his struggle with addiction. They stated their conviction that he was facilitating Matthew Perry’s attempts to overcome his dependence. The case concluded with a sentence reflecting the seriousness of the charges and the significant impact on the Perry family.
Iwamasa will serve his six-month prison term.
