    The finding of death was still accidental, but given that he took the >>overdose himself and knew how excessively high the dose was, it should

    At least 1 arrest made in connection to Matthew Perry's death, law >>enforcement source says
    By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ANDREW DALTON

    Five were arrested, including two doctors and Perry's personal assistant
    who administered three doses on the last day of his life.

    Another report said the fourth arrest was of a woman who arranges
    Ketamine presciptions to celebrity morons.

    I still haven't read who the fifth arrestee is.

    Dr. Salvador Plasencia has pleaded guilty.

    That'll teach him to provide drugs to a wealthy, popular celebrity.

    Ketamine?

    I know Matthew Perry was in a self-destructive state of mind and was
    going to allow various nefarious people with ill intent to prey upon
    him. I just don't see how this was going to end any other way. Someone
    would notice Perry had died and there would be questions. He's not some
    junkie, poor, homeless, found in an alley that no one would have
    demanded justice for.
