A licensed drug addiction counsellor has been sentenced to two years in prison for providing the ketamine that resulted in the death of Friends star Matthew Perry. The verdict was delivered by a court following a high-profile case that has drawn significant public attention.
The counsellor, whose role was to assist individuals struggling with addiction, was found guilty of delivering lethal doses of the substance to the actor. This case has highlighted ongoing concerns about the involvement of some healthcare professionals in the illegal distribution of controlled substances.
Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing in the iconic television series Friends, was found deceased from ketamine toxicity. The incident underscores the dangers of drug misuse and the potential consequences when those entrusted with public health breach their duties.
The sentencing aims to serve as a deterrent against similar offences and to emphasize the responsibility held by healthcare providers in preventing drug abuse.
