The story begins with Perryâs assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who played a critical role in his final hours. On the morning of October 28, 2023, Iwamasa administered the first of several ketamine injections to Perry, setting the stage for a heartbreaking sequence of events. By the time Perry was found lifeless in his Jacuzzi later that day, the toxic cocktail of drugs had already sealed his fate.
What makes this case even more haunting is the connection between Perryâs death and another fatal overdose that occurred four years earlier. Cody McLaury, a 33-year-old aspiring personal trainer, also died after using ketamine allegedly supplied by the same dealer, Jasveen Sangha. Known in the drug underworld as the âKetamine Queen,â Sangha is accused of selling the deadly substance to both McLaury and Perry, highlighting the dark reach of this illicit network.
McLauryâs sister, Kimberly, discovered the link between her brotherâs death and Perryâs after receiving his phone back from the police. A chilling text conversation with the dealer revealed that McLaury had paid for the ketamine through Venmo. Distraught, Kimberly texted the dealer after learning that ketamine was listed as the cause of her brotherâs death, but she never received a response.
As the investigation into Perryâs death unfolded, prosecutors uncovered a complex web of doctors, dealers, and suppliers who had been peddling ketamine and other dangerous substances to unsuspecting victims. Two doctors, alongside Sangha, were charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine. The doctors are accused of illegally obtaining the drug and instructing Iwamasa on how to administer it to Perry.
This case has reignited the conversation around ketamine, a drug originally approved for medical use as an anesthetic but increasingly misused for its psychoactive effects. While it has shown promise in treating depression and chronic pain in controlled settings, ketamineâs potential for abuse and deadly consequences when used without supervision has alarmed experts.
