In court documents, Fleming admitted to trafficking the ketamine that caused Perry’s death and obtaining the ketamine from its source, Sangha, by distributing 50 vials of ketamine to Perry’s personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, half of them four days before Perry’s death.
Kenneth Iwamasa: Perry’s personal assistant, who conspired with Sanga, Fleming and Plasencia to illegally purchase and distribute ketamine to Perry.

Relationships of those involved with Matthew Perry
Authorities say that between September and October 2023, Perry purchased 20 vials of ketamine worth $55,000.
Those purchases led Dr. Placentia, one of the defendants in Perry’s death, to write, “I wonder how much this idiot will pay,” referring to the actor. Investigators say Placentia wrote in text messages that he wanted to be Perry’s “preferred drug supplier.”
Authorities say that Placentia, as a physician, was aware of the risks of the medications he was taking, even seeing Perry “freeze” and have his blood pressure spike while taking the medications on one occasion. However, authorities say the physician left the vials of medication behind for his assistant to administer.
Authorities find ketamine stash
Martin Strada, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, said authorities discovered what appeared to be a “commercial drug warehouse.” A search uncovered 80 vials of ketamine, as well as cocaine and birth control pills.
The suspects used coded language and tried to “hide” their actions after Perry’s death.
Authorities say the defendants used coded language in their communications, referring to ketamine by names such as “Dr. Pepper,” “bottles,” and “cans.”
Investigators describe a “cover-up” they allege the suspects attempted after reports of Perry’s death emerged. According to authorities, Sangha texted one suspect asking him to “delete all our messages,” while Dr. Sangha texted another suspect asking him to “delete all our messages.” Plasencia allegedly “forged” medical records to make the drugs appear legitimate.
