Matthew Perry’s Ex-Assistant Accused of Destroying Ketamine Evidence

Federal prosecutors say Kenneth Iwamasa, the late actor’s former assistant, tried to hide evidence after Matthew Perry’s death. Court filings allege he directed someone to dispose of ketamine syringes and vials. He also shredded documents and deleted digital records, investigators claim. Prosecutors say Iwamasa lied to agents about his role. He initially denied administering ketamine injections to Perry on the day he died, then blamed the actor for hiding the drugs. Authorities say he even changed passwords on Perry’s devices and later admitted cleaning up the scene. In 2024, Iwamasa pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death. Sentencing is set for Wednesday, with prosecutors seeking a 41-month prison term.
