The shockwaves of Matthew Perry's death continue to reverberate through the hearts of fans who knew him as Chandler Bing on Friends. The actor's passing in October 2023, attributed to a ketamine overdose, has left a deep void, and recent revelations about his final moments have only added to the tragedy.

Newly uncovered court documents have shed light on the disturbing details of Perry's last days, including his final words. The Friends star reportedly asked his longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, to "shoot me up with a big one," just before his fatal overdose. This request came amidst a troubling pattern of drug use on that day, with Perry receiving what was described as a dangerously high dose of ketamine—equivalent to that used in general anesthesia for surgeries.
Perry had been undergoing supervised ketamine infusion therapy, but the doses administered by Iwamasa were not part of this medical regimen. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who had previously supplied ketamine to Perry through his assistant, allegedly expressed concerns about the actor's deteriorating condition but still provided the drug. Similarly, Dr. Mark Chavez was accused of facilitating unsupervised access to ketamine for Perry.

In a haunting twist, Perry's last Instagram post just five days before his death featured a photo of him in his hot tub with the caption, “Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman.” Fans interpreted this as a troubling sign of the star’s need for help, with some believing it was a cry for intervention.
The aftermath of Perry’s death has led to significant legal repercussions, with four individuals facing charges related to the incident. One particularly sorrowful observation from fans on social media highlighted the role of Perry's assistant, who, rather than monitoring the actor or alerting his family, allegedly left him alone as he succumbed to the overdose.
As the investigation continues and legal proceedings unfold, Matthew Perry’s fans are left grappling with the heartache of his loss and the unsettling details surrounding his final moments. The deep sense of sorrow and frustration shared by his followers is a testament to the profound impact he had on their lives.
