Back in October of 2023, beloved Friends star Matthew Perry drowned in his hot tub while under the influence of ketamine.
In the years since, several people close to the actor have been arrested and charged in connection with Perry’s death.
Today, saw yet another conviction, as Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry’s longtime live-in assistant, was sentenced to 41 months in prison for his role in the conspiracy tied to the actor’s fatal overdose.
According to People, Iwamasa was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges connected to Perry’s death at age 54.
Prosecutors alleged that the assistant helped obtain ketamine for the iconic actor during the final weeks of his life and even administered injections despite having no medical training.
The sentencing marks another painful chapter in the legal fallout surrounding Perry’s sudden passing.
Perry was found unresponsive in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28, 2023.
His death was later ruled an accident caused by the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning, coronary artery disease, and the effects of buprenorphine listed as contributing factors.
According to investigators, Iwamasa admitted to repeatedly injecting Perry with ketamine after helping facilitate access to the drug through a network of suppliers.
Court filings alleged that Perry had become increasingly dependent on ketamine treatments, which were designed to help curtail the substance abuse issues that had plagued him throughout his adult life.
Authorities claim that on the day Perry died, Iwamasa administered multiple injections to the actor, including one shortly before Perry was found dead.
The assistant later cooperated with investigators as prosecutors widened the case to include multiple defendants accused of profiting from Perry’s addiction struggles.
Perry had long been candid about his substance abuse struggles, famously detailing his years of addiction and recovery efforts in interviews and in his memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.
For millions of fans, he will forever be remembered as lovable fan favorite Chandler Bing, but behind the scenes, Perry was fighting battles far more painful than many realized.
Now, with another sentencing complete, the legal reckoning surrounding the actor’s death continues.

Back in November of 2025, the world was shocked by the brutal murder of Anna Kepner, the 18-year-old who was found dead in her cabin aboard a Carnival cruise ship.
In February, Kepner’s stepbrother, 16-year-old Timothy Hudson, was charged with her murder.
Prosecutors allege that Hudson raped Kepner before killing her and attempting to hide her body under a bed — circumstances that make today’s decision all the more surprising.
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Hudson will not be jailed while awaiting trial and will instead remain in the custody of a family member under strict conditions as his case moves forward.
Hudson has been free since the death of his stepsister after initially being charged as a juvenile and released to live with his uncle because of his age.
The situation changed dramatically in April, when a federal grand jury indicted Hudson as an adult, raising the possibility that he could be detained behind bars before trial.
U.S. District Judge Edwin Torres acknowledged the gravity of the allegations but ultimately decided against jailing the teen ahead of his trial.
“If it were a 20-year-old under the exact circumstances I probably would have detained,” Torres said during Wednesday’s hearing, according to NBC News.
“The presumption would be we were just not going to take that chance. This is a different animal,” he added.
The judge explained that he considered the practical realities of detention, including the fact that Hudson’s family lives several hundred miles away in Hernando County, making visitation difficult if he were held in Miami-Dade County.
Federal prosecutors strongly objected to today’s decision.
Government attorney Alejandra Lopez argued that Hudson represents “a danger to the community,” especially considering that two minors reportedly live in the uncle’s home where he is currently staying.
“What is needed to prove a danger? A second dead body?” Lopez asked in court.
Hudson’s attorney, public defender Evan Kuhl, pushed back, arguing that the teen has followed every condition of his release for months and has shown no indication he poses a flight risk or danger to others.
Hudson is only allowed to leave the house while accompanied by his aunt or uncle and is being electronically monitored by authorities.
Anna and Hudson — whose parents married in December 2024 — had reportedly been sharing a cabin during the family vacation.
Her body was discovered bruised, wrapped in a blanket and hidden beneath a bed behind life vests. The Miami-Dade medical examiner ruled her death a homicide caused by “mechanical asphyxiation.”
On the day Hudson was indicted as an adult, Anna’s father, Chris Kepner, made his feelings painfully clear.
“Justice needs to be served,” he said.
Hudson’s trial could begin as early as September. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available,
