Matthew Perry Death Trial Set for 2025

On the first anniversary of Matthew Perry's death, his family expressed their hopes for justice as a trial against two of the individuals accused of supplying him with a fatal dose of ketamine is set for March 2025. Perry's mother, Suzanne Morrison, and stepfather, Keith Morrison, appeared on the Today show, where they emphasized that those responsible for providing lethal drugs should be held accountable, stating, "It doesn’t matter what your professional credentials are, you are going down, baby." Following a federal investigation, five people were arrested in connection with Perry’s death, which was ruled an accident caused by acute ketamine effects, alongside drowning and coronary artery disease. Among those charged are Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and Dr. Mark Chavez, who operated a ketamine clinic. The family has also established The Matthew Perry Foundation of Canada to honor his memory and support others battling addiction. The trial aims to address illegal drug distribution and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
