Doctor Avoids Prison in Matthew Perry Ketamine Case
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
Mark Chavez, a doctor involved in Matthew Perrys ketamine death case, avoided prison time and was sentenced to eight months of home confinement. Chavez pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine, admitting he sold fraudulently obtained ketamine to fellow doctor Salvador Plasencia, who then sold it to Perry. Despite not supplying the lethal dose, both doctors knew of Perrys substance abuse history and that the ketamine would be used without medical supervision. Chavezs legal team argued that he had already been punished enough, while Plasencia received a harsher sentence of thirty months in federal prison. Sentencing is still pending for other individuals involved in the case.
