One of the doctors who pleaded guilty to supplying ketamine to actor Matthew Perry, leading to his overdose death, avoids jail time, being sentenced to eight months of home confinement.

Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett also sentenced Dr. Mark Chavez to three years of supervised release. Chavez is the second of the five defendants to be sentenced in connection with Perry’s death.

In his 2022 memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing," Matthew Perry claimed to have been to rehab 15 times, detoxed 65 times, and spent about $7 to $9 million trying to get sober.   

Two years after his near-death experience, Matthew Perry went to a rehab facility in Switzerland. He admitted to faking pain symptoms to get OxyContin during COVID.

He was also getting daily Ketamine infusions. Ultimately, it was Ketamine that killed him.  

On October 28, Matthew Perry went to his country club to play a game of Pickleball with friends. Perry returned to his home after the game and was seen by his assistant, who was leaving the house to run errands.

At 4 p.m., the assistant returned home and found Perry floating face down in the heated end of the pool. 

Paramedics pulled Perry out of the pool and pronounced him dead at the scene.
