5 charged in actor Matthew Perry’s death

Five people have been charged in the death of former Friends star Matthew Perry.

The 54-year-old was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home in October.

Officials later determined that the actor suffered a fatal ketamine overdose.

A licensed physician and an alleged drug dealer were arrested on Thursday.

They are charged in an 18-count superseding indictment with distributing ketamine to Perry during the final weeks of his life.

Three other individuals, including a second doctor and Perry’s assistant, have already pleaded guilty to charges.
