So his personal assistant and live-in caretaker of 25 years, Kenny Iwamasa, was involved. Heart breaking. Matthew really had no one around him he could trust to keep him sober.

"Mr. Perry’s personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death. Officials said he admitted to repeatedly injecting Mr. Perry with ketamine, including multiple injections on Oct. 28, the day Mr. Perry died."

The guy was an addict. If that assistant didn’t procure the drug for him and inject him, he would have fired him and found another assistant who would do his bidding. IMO, Perry is the one responsible for throwing his life away due to his addiction.

You can try to rationalize being a drug dealer all day long. People with any sense of ethics and good values would take a hard pass if that were the way to keep a job.

An option would be to not sell drugs or join a regulated industry where you could be insured against such hazards? Just spitballing here.

Another option would be to not be a drug addict and expect it to be everyone else's responsibility to save you from yourself. Just spitballing here.

a better option is not selling to famous people.

Most of us think very little of drug dealers, but you do you.

np Matthew Perry was a huge Narcissist. I read his book and he never took account for all the people he literally screwed. So, no I do not feel sorry for him at all. And I don't like the drug dealer either.

We are each responsible for how we live our lives.

Ultimately yes, but his assistant could have refused to inject him. Could have found rehab for him, counseling, a NA meeting. But no, the assistant chose to help him be an active addict multiple times in one day.

If someone is suicidal would you pull the trigger for them? Help them tie the rope?

+1 it seems that some of these posters have no conscience about right and wrong as long when $$$ is involved.

They are not being charged with murder. They are being charged with illegal drug dealing and distribution.

Robert Downey Jr. went down a similar path. I wonder if Matthew Perry had had Downey’s support team if he would have had a better chance.

Is it ok to sell to poor people then? Your rationale is stupid.

He had done rehab and was in counseling. This drug was being used to treat depression and Matthew took it too far. Don't compare suicide to drug addiction.

This is like the Michael Jackson and propofol issue.

I can't get over that his assistant injected him at least 27 times (!!) in his final days including 3 on the day he died. Wow. This wasn't a once-daily injection kind of thing and was clearly spiraling out of control.

I was in the middle of reading MP's memoir when he passed away. Although he supposedly wrote it during a sober period, he did not sound well

Why didn't the assistant call Matthew's counselor? WHY inject him with ketamine, multiple times? Just why??

Call the counselor, call the rehab clinic, call whoever should be called in that situation. Don't help him inject way too much of the drug. I've lost family to addiction and suicide. Someone who od'd on their meds. I will compare them, thanks.

NP here: and what will they do? Matthew Perry had to want to get clean. A counselor or a rehab can't force him to do anything.
