Matthew Perry's Assistant Gets 41 Months in Ketamine Death Case

Narrative A

Kenneth Iwamasa was paid $150,000 a year to keep Matthew Perry sober, and instead he injected him with lethal doses of ketamine and left him to die in a hot tub. Perry's family trusted Iwamasa for 25 years, and he exploited that trust at every turn, arranging drug supplies, hiding evidence from police and even speaking at the funeral. A 41-month sentence is nowhere near enough for that level of betrayal.
