Second Doctor Sentenced in Matthew Perry’s Death Case

The sentencing of Mark Chavez, one of two doctors convicted in connection with Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose death, is scheduled for Tuesday. Chavez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine, admitting to selling it to another doctor, Salvador Plasencia, who then provided it to Perry before his death in October 2023. Prosecutors seek six months of home confinement and community service, while Chavez’s defense argues for a lesser sentence, emphasizing his limited involvement and early acceptance of responsibility. Plasencia has already been sentenced to 30 months in prison, and others involved face similar charges.
