Five people have been charged in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry, according to the US Attorney’s Office.

The defendants – who include two doctors, Perry’s live-in personal assistant and a person referred to by authorities as “The Ketamine Queen” – are charged with “distributing ketamine to Perry during the final weeks of the actor’s life,” according to a press release from the US Attorney’s office.

US Attorney Martin Estrada says the defendants took advantage of Perry’s addiction issues.

He says they knew what they were doing was wrong.

The beloved actor who starred as Chandler Bing on “Friends” died in October 2023 at the age of 54.

Perry was found floating face down in the pool of his Pacific Palisades home.

The actor died as a result of “acute effects of ketamine” and subsequent drowning, according to the Los Angeles Medical Examiner’s Office autopsy report.
