Documentary on tragic death of Matthew Perry reveals shocking details

February 27, 2025 by Areej Afzal

A documentary on the death of Matthew Perry revealed unknown details.
It reveals that he received 27 doses of ketamine in the last three days.
Perry’s ketamine treatments were handled irresponsibly.

A new documentary, Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the Friends star’s tragic death on October 28, 2023. The documentary, streaming on Peacock, reveals that Perry received 27 doses of ketamine in the last three days of his life, ultimately leading to an accidental overdose.

According to Martin Estrada, former U.S. Attorney for California’s Central District, Perry’s ketamine treatments were handled irresponsibly. “Allegedly, you have Dr. [Salvador] Plasencia providing ketamine to a live-in assistant who has no medical training whatsoever, and that live-in assistant is administering ketamine to a person whose risk factors are through the roof.” (Via PEOPLE).

Despite multiple warning signs, Dr. Plasencia allegedly continued supplying ketamine, even administering it in unauthorized locations, including a car in a Long Beach parking lot. Prosecutors claim that as Perry’s health deteriorated, Plasencia distanced himself, leaving the administration of ketamine to Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who reportedly received supplies from Jasveen Sangha, known as “The Ketamine Queen.”

On October 28, Perry reportedly requested another dose, allegedly telling Iwamasa to “give me a big one” before preparing his hot tub. When Iwamasa returned, he found Perry unresponsive.

Five individuals face charges, including Dr. Plasencia, Sangha, and Iwamasa. While three have pleaded guilty, Plasencia denies wrongdoing, claiming he was unaware of Perry’s other sources of ketamine.

Matthew Perry’s Los Angeles home purchased by Indian-origin producer

November 11, 2024 by Areej Afzal

Indian-origin producer purchased Matthew Perry’s LA home.
Verma-Lallian shared her experience on Instagram.
She reflected on the energy every home carries.

Indian-origin film producer Verma-Lallian and real estate developer Anita Verma-Lallian have purchased Matthew Perry’s Palisades home for $8.55 million (approximately Rs 72.04 crore) where the F.R.I.E.N.D.S star died.

Before moving in, Anita Verma-Lallian and her family held a Hindu ‘puja’ ceremony to bless the property and honor Perry’s memory.

Excited about the new purchase, Verma-Lallian shared her experience on Instagram, writing, “We are so excited to share that we bought a home in Los Angeles earlier this month! Our agent, @brooke.elliott.laurinkus, said she had an amazing ‘off-market’ property that she really wanted us to see. The moment I walked into the home, I absolutely fell in love with the features, especially the view of the Pacific Ocean. We knew it was ‘the one’ and decided to write an offer on it immediately.”

As a real estate developer, Verma-Lallian reflected on the energy every home carries, saying, “Every property has a history that we may or may not know about, and every home carries the energy that the current owner brings to it. I am Hindu, and it’s customary to do a blessing and prayer anytime you buy a new home.” She added that the purchase was about their love for the home, not the previous owner, and they chose to honor Perry’s “immense talent” and the joy he brought to others.

I have more freedom of a relationship with him now than I ever did. And it hits me so hard that he’s not there,” she shared.

Suzanne also highlighted the progress Matthew Perry made in recent years but acknowledged the pain of losing him. “I do (miss him with every breath I take). But the one thing I have to learn that’s very hard to do… is that you’ve got to stop blaming yourself because it tears you up,” she said.

Matthew Perry claims that the majority of his “Friends” cast members “won’t care” to read his memoir ’

October 28, 2022 by Rafia Jawed

Matthew Perry’s new memoir, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, hits shelves this week.
The actor played Chandler Bing on the hit NBC show from 1994 to 2004.
His new memoir, The Easy A, will be released on November 1st.

Although Matthew Perry is open about the Friends cast in his memoir, he still doesn’t expect they will read it.

“Why would they read it? I don’t know,” Perry, 53, told GQ in an interview published on Thursday, October 27. “Because, you know, who cares? Addicts are going to care about this, and fans of Friends are going to care about this. But the cast is not going to really care about this.”

The Fools Rush In actor starred as Chandler Bing in the hit NBC comedy from 1994 to 2004 opposite Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.

While Perry claims that none of his former cast members will be interested in his new book, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing, a source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly earlier this week that 53-year-old Aniston is someone the 17 Again actor has previously been able to rely on.

“She always took time to listen to him, even when she was busy or had her own issues to deal with,” the insider shared, noting that Perry feels like the “people who stood by him when the chips were down” — including the Morning Show actress — are the ones who “saved his life” and “gave him the will to carry on.”

The Three to Tango actor, for his part, has been open about how Aniston checked in on him more than his other Friends costars over the years. “She was the one that reached out the most,” Perry told Diane Sawyer during his October 21 interview with ABC. “I’m really grateful to her for that.”

The Breakup star was also the first person to confront the Massachusetts native about his drinking habits while they were shooting the hit sitcom.

“Jen thought of the cast as her family. She still does, but back then even more so because they were together all the time and making it on the fame ladder together,” a second insider exclusively revealed to Us. “They all had their demons and temptations to manage in one way or other, but for Matthew especially it boiled down to getting a grip on his addictions.”

According to the insider, Perry was “by far the most frail member of the cast,” which caused Aniston to worry “enormously” about him.

Everything Matthew Perry’s Friends Cast Members Have Said About His Problems
The Horrible Bosses actor may not read the Birds of America actor’s book, but one former friend has already done so. The memoir’s forward was written by Kudrow, 59, and is scheduled to be released on November 1st.

“It’s a hideous disease, and he has a tough version of it. What’s not changing is his will to keep going, keep fighting and keep living,” the Easy A star told the New York Times for a story published on Sunday, October 23. “I love Matthew a lot. We’re part of a family. I’m basically ending this with ‘I’ll be there for you’ [the Friends theme song], but it’s true. I’ll always be there for him.”

Jennifer Aniston rejected Matthew Perry years before “Friends”

Matthew Perry reveals he was rejected by Jennifer Anniston way before friends

“It was clear that this made her think I liked her too much, or in the wrong kind of way,” he writes in the book, out Nov. 1.

Still, he proceeded to ask her out.

Perry claims Aniston declined the offer and suggested they just be friends instead, to which he blurted out, “[We] can’t be friends!”

The two eventually sat down for their first table read in 1994, and even though Perry still had some romantic feelings towards her, they “were able to sail right past the past and focus on the fact that we had both gotten the best job Hollywood had to offer.”

Perry’s affections for Aniston persisted throughout the filming of “Friends,” which was unfortunate. He claims that he constantly caught himself overthinking every inconsequential exchange the two of them had.

Despite their on-screen kiss in the Season 3 episode “The One with the Flashback,” Perry’s affections for Aniston eventually faded due to the show’s success and her on-going “deafening lack of interest.”

The “Whole Nine Yards” star wrote that by the time Aniston had begun dating Brad Pitt in 1998, he had “long since gotten over her” and figured out how to interact with her “without it being awkward.”

Perry, 53, had also moved on with other romantic relationships – most notably briefly dating Julia Roberts in 1995. He broke up with 54-year-old Roberts after dating her for two months because he was “sure she was going to break up with me.”

“Why would she not? I was not enough; I could never be enough; I was broken, bent, unlovable. So instead of facing the inevitable agony of losing her, I broke up with the beautiful and brilliant Julia Roberts,” he confessed.

Along with his rapid climb to prominence, Perry struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. During the sitcom’s 1994–2004 production, he had to visit rehab twice.

Perry admitted that after filming the iconic moment where his character, Chandler Bing, married Monica Geller, played by Courteney Cox, he was “driven back to the treatment center … in a pickup truck helmed by a sober technician.”
