According to the court's verdict, Iwamasa administered at least three injections of ketamine to Perry on the day of his death. The investigation also revealed that in the days before the fatal incident, the assistant had given him more than twenty-five doses of the drug. Iwamasa, as a live-in caregiver, had direct access to the actor and made decisions about his medication regimen. ta3.com ↗ hnonline.sk ↗
Iwamasa's sentencing closes a two-year legal case concerning the death of the actor who played the character Chandler in the popular series. The case led to several criminal proceedings and convictions of individuals responsible for prescribing and distributing the ketamine that caused Perry's death. This case drew attention to significant safety shortcomings in the provision of healthcare and the administration of regulated medications to individuals under the care of healthcare workers without adequate oversight. The case also sparked discussion about the responsibility of caregivers and the difficulty of monitoring the use of narcotic substances in the private homes of prominent individuals. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗ seznamzpravy.cz ↗
