Five people have been charged in connection with the ketamine death of “Friends” star Matthew Perry, federal officials in Los Angeles announced Thursday.

Two of the defendants — including a doctor and a woman reportedly known as “The Ketamine Queen” who is accused of selling Perry the batch of ketamine that killed him — were arrested on Thursday, while three others, including a second doctor and the actor’s assistant, are in plea agreements for federal drug charges in connection with this death, according to the Department of Justice.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said investigators conducted a wide-ranging investigation following Perry’s death in October 2023 that “revealed a broad, underground criminal network responsible for distributing large quantities of ketamine to Mr. Perry and others.”
