Dr. Salvador Plasencia — one of the individuals charged in connection with Matthew Perry’s death — has been sentenced after entering a guilty plea in the case.

The Los Angeles Times reported on Wednesday, December 3, that Plasencia was sentenced to 30 months, nearly two and a half years, in prison. Plasencia will also serve two years of supervised release following his time behind bars.

The Department of Justice announced on June 16 that Plasencia was expected to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine stemming from Perry’s October 2023 death from an overdose of the drug. Prosecutors noted at the time that the charge carried a statutory maximum sentence of 40 years in federal prison.
