In Los Angeles, Dr. Mark Chavez was sentenced to eight months of home confinement and three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine to actor Matthew Perry before his death. Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett delivered the sentence in federal court, during which Chavez expressed sympathy for the Perry family, acknowledging their profound loss.
Chavez was involved in obtaining ketamine through fraudulent means and supplying it to Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who was earlier sentenced to 2.5 years in prison for illegally selling ketamine to Perry. Chavez cooperated with authorities, relinquished his medical license voluntarily, and accepted responsibility early in the investigation, factors highlighted by his defense team as indicators of accountability.
Perry legally used ketamine, a surgical anesthetic, to treat depression, but after his main doctor refused to provide the larger quantities he sought, he turned to Plasencia. Plasencia exploited Perry’s addiction struggles for profit, as revealed in court documents that included disparaging remarks about Perry.
Chavez admitted to acquiring ketamine via false prescriptions and supplied a total of 22 vials and nine lozenges to Plasencia, facilitating the illicit supply to Perry. He will also complete 300 hours of community service. Perry, famed for his role as Chandler Bing on the television show “Friends,” died in 2023 at age 54, with a medical examiner citing ketamine as the primary cause of death.
Chavez is the second of five defendants to be sentenced in connection with the case. Remaining defendants will face sentencing in the coming months, with the judge aiming for equitable sentences across all individuals involved.
