Matthew Perry
Physicians Involved in His Death Still Licensed to Prescribe Medication
In a stunning development, the two physicians implicated in Matthew Perry‘s death have not only retained their medical licenses but are also free to prescribe medication to their patients, a shocking revelation uncovered by investigators.
Last week, Dr. Mark Chavez and Dr. Salvador Plasencia were charged with illegally conspiring to supply ketamine to the late “Friends” star.
Subsequent to this, the California State Medical Board launched an investigation into both doctors, but surprisingly chose not to discipline them or revoke their licenses.
Our investigation has now revealed that the State Medical Board has placed no restrictions on the doctors’ licenses, effectively allowing them to continue prescribing serious medications to patients, including controlled substances, without any oversight.
In response to our inquiry, the Board issued a statement confirming that “both licenses are current and active, and the Board has not imposed any restrictions on them.”
In a related development, Dr. Chavez has already entered a plea deal with prosecutors, admitting to conspiracy to distribute ketamine.
According to prosecutors, Chavez confessed to selling the drug to Dr. Plasencia, who would then obtain the ketamine by writing fraudulent prescriptions.
Plasencia allegedly administered massive doses of ketamine to Matthew Perry, even injecting him at his home. Court documents reveal that Plasencia referred to Perry as a “moron” in a text message to Chavez, questioning how much the actor would pay for ketamine.
Plasencia faces charges of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, distribution of ketamine resulting in death, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, and altering and falsifying records related to a federal investigation. He has pleaded not guilty.
