A California doctor has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for illegally supplying Friends sitcom star Matthew Perry with ketamine, the powerful sedative that caused the actor's drug overdose death in 2023.
Dr Salvador Plasencia, who operated an urgent-care clinic outside Los Angeles, pleaded guilty in federal court in July to four felony counts of illegal distribution of the prescription anaesthetic.
He could have faced up to 40 years in prison had he been convicted at trial.
