Mathew Perry's overdose death, one of the doctors pleads guilty

A federal court in Los Angeles has revoked the license of one of two doctors accused in the ketamine overdose death of actor Matthew Perry.

Mark Chavez, 54, accepted a plea deal with prosecutors and is expected to plead guilty to aiding and abetting the illegal supply of ketamine.

The death of Matthew Perry - who was hugely popular as 'Chandler' in the TV series 'Friends' - in October 2023 shocked Hollywood.

Another doctor, Salvador Placencia, is accused of buying ketamine from Chavez to sell at a much higher price to Matthew Perry.

Jasvin Sangha, known as the "queen of ketamine", is accused of supplying the dose that killed the 54-year-old actor. Their trial is set for October. Until then, Mark Chavez is expected to plead guilty to avoid trial. Through his lawyer, he said that he was "regretful" for his action.

"My client accepts his responsibility. He is doing everything he can to cooperate and is extremely remorseful," Matt Binninger told reporters outside court.

This anesthetic, sometimes abused for stimulation or euphoria, was originally taken by the actor under supervision as part of sessions to treat depression. 

A DEA official described Placencia and Chavez as "rogue" doctors who "violated the Hippocratic Oath." / CNA
