Matthew Perry's assistant jailed after admitting he injected Friends star with ketamine before death

Kenneth Iwamasa, the longtime personal assistant to Matthew Perry, received a 41-month prison sentence on Wednesday for his role in the Friends star's fatal ketamine overdose.

US District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett delivered the sentence in Los Angeles federal court, matching what prosecutors had requested.

Mr Iwamasa, 60, had pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.

He acknowledged administering the dissociative anaesthetic to Mr Perry via injection three times on 28 October 2023, the day the actor died.
