More revelations continue to come out from the investigation into Matthew Perry's death, as multiple individuals have already been charged.
Perry's former personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, admitted that he found the late actor "unconscious" on at least two occasions in the weeks leading up to his tragic passing.
Authorities announced last week that Iwamasa, alongside four other individuals, were all charged in connection to Matthew Perry's death.

The "Friends" actor was found face down in the jacuzzi of his Pacific Palisades mansion on October 28. However, an investigation into his death has revealed several shocking incidents that led up to Perry's untimely passing.
According to Page Six, Perry's former P.A., Kenneth Iwamasa, revealed that he found the late actor "unconscious at his residence on at least two occasions" before he died.
It has since been revealed that Perry died from a Ketamine overdose, and Iwamasa was the one who had administered the fatal shot of ketamine that killed the actor.

He pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, stating in his plea agreement that he injected the late actor with "significant quantities of ketamine," totaling around "6-8 shots per day," in the days leading up to his death.
Iwamasa claimed that on the day of Perry's death, he injected him around 8:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m., but that Perry asked him to prepare his jacuzzi and "shoot [him] up with a big one" just about 40 minutes later.
The former assistant then went on an errand after administering the third shot that day, only to return to the actor's lifeless body.
Multiple People Aimed To Profit Off Of Matthew Perry's Addiction

Five individuals have been charged with Perry's death, with U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada claiming that the indicted persons "took advantage to profit for themselves" after the actor relapsed from his substance abuse last fall, per Page Six.
The individuals include Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, Dr. Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, and Jasveen Sangha, who is also known as the "Ketamine Queen."
Authorities said that Dr. Salvador Plasencia "worked" with Iwamasa to "distribute" about 20 vials of the dissociative anesthetic to the actor and even taught him how to inject it into Perry.
Plasencia seemingly roped Chavez into the scheme all to get more ketamine and make more money from Perry's struggles.
"I wonder how much this moron will pay," Plascenia allegedly texted Chavez. The "Fools Rush In" actor is also said to have paid the doctors around $55,000 for the drug.
The Individuals Face Years In Jail For Their Actions

After pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, Iwamasa faces 15 years in prison when sentenced, as well as Chavez, who also agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and faces up to 10 years behind bars.
Palencia pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, seven counts of distribution of ketamine, and two counts of altering and falsifying documents or records related to the investigation.
He faces up to 10 years in prison for each Ketamine-related charge and could be slammed with up to 20 years for each record falsification count.
Meanwhile, Fleming, who reportedly acted as a middleman between Perry and an unnamed drug dealer, also pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine, resulting in death.

According to the New York Post, an insider shared that Sangha, who is referred to as the "Ketamine Queen," acted "carefree" after Perry died and maintained an active social life.
"If anything, she became more social in the past few months," the source said. "She seemed carefree like she didn't have a worry in the world."
"She put on a brave face, considering what she knew was coming," the source added. "She acted like it was no big deal at all."
U.S. attorney Martin Estrada disclosed that Sangha received a huge sum of money from the "Whole Nine Yards" actor after providing him with about 50 vials of ketamine, a deal in which she seemingly got around $11,000.

Sangha has since been charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of maintaining drug-involved premises.
She was also charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, one count of possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and five counts of distribution of ketamine.
The "ketamine queen" pleaded not guilty in an L.A. court last week and remains in jail without bond. Sangha faces a minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
