When will they start arresting like this for each avoidable drug death?
Only reason priority was put into this was Matthew Perry was a huge name,
One of the biggest stars of the 90’s.
However,
Not everyone is priority, cause of their fame to the investigators.
Aaron Carter is the perfect example of not getting the same treatment Matthew Perry’s case did.
Both were addicts.
I’m friends with Aaron’s former fiancé,
She’s trying all on her own to get arrests made, in Aaron’s case.
The cops failed him MISERABLY.
Glad that won’t happen with Matthew.
Actually yes, they also charged this same gang, due to looking into Perry’s death, another kattamin death of an avg Joe - I’m sure they will find more deaths related to them
@@drakejoshsuperfan2024Mathew’s fame definitely helped. His family pushed very hard too but it probably could have ended up like Aaron Carter if he wasn’t a big enough star already
When the public pays as much attention to regular addicts as they do to celebrities I guess
The pharmacutical companies would be bankrupt. That's why
He was the first to be accountable for his own health and life. These greedy people only care about money, not people life’s. That why you have to care for your own life. Sad. Prayers and condolences to the family.
Well said
people who are addicts are not able to take charge of their own life.
@@nancyfarkas3592NOPE it's s YOUR GODDAMN RESPONSIBILITY , you cannot expect / demand that other people Will save you. It's YOUR LIFE, and LIFE COMES AROUND ONLY ONCE, TREAT YOURSELF well and with respect , do not rely on others. If you are unable tò do that then don't BLAME other people saying they didn' t do enough for you. YOU MUST TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY OF YOUR OWN ACTIONS
Its True and I love the show and the cast, but your statement is 100% true.
Sadly Matthew Perry was killed by his disease, if it weren't those doctors, it would've been other people to provide him what he wanted. I listened to him in his audiobook, it was very sad but it was not the first time he went to extreme measures to satistify his addiction, as long as you have lots of money, you'll eventually find someone that sells you the drugs,doctors, drug dealers, makes no difference
So true. It does NOT excuse his doctors, who appear to have exploited his addiction. But you're right, it's almost impossible to stop an addict from getting what they want. That's why rehabs exist.
Exactly, he died because of his own choices to continue to use and abuse drugs. It’s no one else’s fault but his own.
Yes but these people have broken the law
Yes ofc but he was still exploited. He thought he was taking a normal dosage of ketamine when in reality it was three times the amount. His assistant injected him with ANOTHER higher dose before he died. So yes maybe this could have happened but he was still enabled by the people around him AND used by so called ‘medical professionals.’
@@petsmart1000I know people in their 70s still addicted…😢
When Dr.s violate their oath "To do no harm" , the penalty should be 20 yrs in prison, loss of license and not able to get it back!
The doctor did inject him with the drug. The doctor bares no responsibility in this matter.
Mathew Perry was doctor shopping to see who can prescribe him with what he needs. In the US the laws are more lienent than in Canada.
Dr. Conrad Murray is another story because he directly injected Michael Jackson with propophal
But what about when you’re told over and over again, what not to do and you do it anyway like he did by getting into the fucking hot tub that doped up
@@whylogicalthinking Addiction isn't understood very well by the general public. We have this despicable war on drugs making us treat addicts like criminals instead of sick people. Dependency disorders aren't about willpower or decision making. It's not a character flaw; it's a disease. It rewires the body and brain to NEED a substance in order to function normally.
Apply the same rules to oxy pill doctors and America would lose half its MD's, unless the implication is that only celebrity doctors should get punished.
@@ElSantoLuchador No amount of law is gonna stop an addict if they need a fix. Not with the kind of money Perry had. The doctors should be punished, but it's not like they directly killed him either. Wrongful death sounds suitable with an OD like this, but genuine accidents happen, and I'm hesitant to blame every doctor when there's an overdose. 20 vials sounds like a LOT, and pill doctors that prescribe hordes of pills are different than one that prescribes a normal amount that ends up being OD'd.
Took advantage of a troubled man 😢
No, he was a junky it was his problem
A LOT of people take advantage of the vulnerable!
2 DOCTORS?!?! WTF
Greedy money driven MDs
The MDs should do serious time for violating their oath as medical doctors...and his family should pursue the full extent of the law....the worst part of this story is his personal assistant. Nobody forces someone to take drugs, but these individuals knew he was vulnerable and did nothing to help. At least none of them will be able to use that money in jail...disgusting enablers.
@@Ava2969nyridiculous, he was a junky they just sold stuff not a big deal
@@Ava2969ny Do doctors even have to take that oath anymore?
@@Sarappreciates - I don't know but I would think their actions go directly against the nature of that profession.
Mathew Perry's passing was heartbreaking when we thought it was just a horrible accident. Now to learn that there were people close to him feeding him ketamine, taking advantage of him and his dependance. What a horrible thing. It won't bring Mathew back, but I hope all that were involved are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law!!
Elvis, Michael, Withney, Prince, just another Dr Conrad Murray 😮
Well hell, they should also charge the hot tub company that installed the hot tub and filling it with water. lol 🥴🙄🤣 just go after and blame everyone and everything else rather than the person who CHOSE TO use and abuse the drugs.
you sound so dumb
Addiction is very hard to beat. And the dealers do have to take accountability for their part in it.
You are an stupid. if you think addicts can control themselves.
Thank you..I really feel bad for the assistant... Matthew Perry probably pushed and pushed him to do his bidding...AS AN ADDICT WILL...
EXACTLY!!!! I'm so glad someone said this. The whole blame everyone but yourself mentality is whacko. No one takes responsibility for themselves and their own actions, it is always someone else's fault.
Who was forcing him to take drugs? Each time one of these celebrities gets themselves in trouble, it makes it very hard on Americans. A person with MS for example can't even get pain med from a doctor for a real pain problem. An older person with usual anxiety or sleeping problems for those ages can't even get a mild benzo. You are then sent to a shrink or pain management or multiple other doctors who might refuse meds too after getting a big check for you walking in the door. Even some cancer patients can't get pain medications because of these cases of drug addict celebrities seeking out doctors for drugs to get high. There's no personal responsibility & then laws go into effect that make it all worse. The war on drugs failed years ago. The streets are filled with zombies while real patients suffer.
Who was forcing him? His addiction was? Maybe you are not familiar with a brain and biology of addiction.
Well hate to break it to you but unfortunately addiction is very real. And yes maybe he is the one to blame, it would be so easy to blame him. But even if you blame him for taking the drugs the drugs were still GIVEN to him by so called medical professionals who told him it was a normal dose and given injections of additional higher doses by his assistants he trusted. So yes he was an addict but he was exploited by every adult around him. And unfortunately these doctors have done this before (opioid crisis?) so put some more blame on them.
@@lunarialoonatic Too much of the blame is on doctors. That's the problem. That's why laws get made then cancer patients, those with MS or others cannot get pain meds. Those types of meds were created for a good reason. Why should millions who are not addicts have to suffer more in painful conditions or just basic need of benzos because of drug addicts? America is just a big $$$ rehab business now. Everyone rushes to college to be an addiction specialist. This needs to stop. Personal responsibility. Don't take drugs unless you need them & follow instructions.
Those zombies in the street aren’t celebrities. Their responsibility lies in not getting help, but the ruling class has enabled it.
@@Independents2024 they KNEW he was addicted. They kept giving it too him anyways. So yes they are responsible. Many doctors are addicts themselves!
No one is holding him down to take the drugs !! He just a drug addict !! Why blame everybody ! He is the one who put it inside his mouth ! Come now!!!
How do you not understand that these Drs knew he had an addiction and took advantage of that? Yes Matthew wanted the drugs but you act like the Drs didn't do anything wrong or that scummy ketamine queen
he killed himself. he did the drugs. why is there NO accountability for the hr actor who was a known junkie, aka a pill popper. he od. if this is the case the ceo of drug companies should be held responsible too.
Soooo sad. Sad for all of those addicted to drugs. God please help them.
God please free the matrix
If there was a god....
As a nurse I’m ashamed of the health professionals…. Money is not everything.
His OWN assistant, the one you CONFIDE IN to BE BY your side, Killed YOU
I agree with that you should able to trust people not worrying about killing you! Like I should be able to trust my father and two younger sisters but I can't! They emotionally abused me! My father for years!
It makes you question who you should trust! He had all these friends did they see the warning signs of the assistant saying matthew he's not good for you like somebody would say about a partner! Idk🤔
if the assistant didn't do as he asked he would be fired and then he would inject the drugs alone which is more dangerous. Grow a brain.
He was gonna do it, no matter what he was a druggie
Very unfortunate situation. Just like Elvis Presley, his inner circle (Yes men) could not deny his requests for drugs when they knew full well they were enabling his addiction. It's difficult to say, if these people did not provide the drugs he wanted, he would have looked elsewhere and procured it somehow, especially due to his celebrity status. This is the evils of addiction.
Was not expecting this
Greed & immorality. Just heartbreaking. If you ever known an addict closely, it's self-destruction that is awful to witness.
celebrities have elevated self-pity to an art form ------- even posthumously!!!
He's the one who got the drugs he's the one who asked for the drugs he's the one who took the drugs he's the one who's guilty
So are you saying those sick Drs did nothing wrong?
People who battle addiction for their entire lives are not "guilty". They are humans who don't have it as easy as people like you.
An addict is an addict
And it his problem not doctors
@@Rummy893except the doctors are the ones prescribing it to him and telling him it’s a normal dose when it isn’t. You can’t blame him without blaming every other adult in this story because everyone’s gonna trust what a doctor says. The doctor and assistants enabled his behavior.
@@Rummy893you sound ignorant.
Your point?
@@HeatherSmith-ii7mi i sound intelligent
Thanks guys. I'm so glad authorities did this. Great job uncovering what actually happened and all the players. RIP Matthew Perry❤
Dispicable!!!
The end result of addiction is death. MP was addicted since age 14yr. RIP MP
Oh that's such a nasty opportunistic criminal thing to do.
Nobody made him take it. His choice. His consequences.
What about personal responsibility? Matthew had many treatments and learned good coping skills. If this was your average Joe no one would investigate. Very sad for him but he was the author of his own demise
Deaths in suspicious circumstances are always investigated
They're always investigated when it's suspicious. You can find many many articles online of these types of crimes about non-actors. It won't get the same traffic as a big name celebrity, but they're there. Police are constantly trying to find the source of where the person got the drugs if it's suspicious.
not that simple
I’m so heartbroken over this one. Although I didn’t personally know him, he was like a Friend to all of us. These people suck… 😢
He should have left most of his money to help people with addiction. All he did was lie at the end and made his family rich.
He did have sobriety time though. Addiction is extremely hard to beat
How incredibly sad and infuriating that these evil people, including doctors who took an oath to do no harm, took this man's addiction as an opportunity to profit 🤬
It's so sick
Matthew Perry has lived a rich life, he is not responsible for himself...rich people are so gullable. How many people die of overdoses and have their dealers arressted. One in a million. Effing selective prosecution😮😮😮
So was he ever really sober or was it all an act?
Person responsible for the death: Matthew Perry
I’m just devastated about this. To know that the people who Matthew knew and trusted were the ones to add to his addiction. He is so missed. He was too young to die. To his family, my heart and prayers goes out to them. 😢
A little dramatic aren’t you ? He was just a drug addicted actor.
The war on drugs should be on trial. As with everything else involving drugs it’s all such a screwed up system and building in an illegal black market makes everything worse.
Im sorry but the junkie is to blame here, everyone else should just be charged with drug charges, not murder. The doctors should be more liable than the civilian drug queen.
He did this to himself.
How can 5 men be charged in a death, when the killer is already dead???
You sound so stupid. They knew he had addiction issues and took advantage of that. THINK
There's only one to blame here. The victim Matthew Perry. He did whatever he could to get his hands on ketamine and people used that to their advantage. They appeased his addiction and if he hadn't have died, we would be none the wiser. Best to stay that way.
Have you ever struggled with addiction?
You can’t blame someone for addiction tho.. they chose to use to
At the end of the day this guy was in a hot tub doing Horse Tranq. Not smart
You can blame them for using someone's addiction for their monetary advantage, you can blame them for violating their medical oath, you can blame them for pushing someone to their death! Stop defending these
As a doctor I can tell you it will be very very difficult to find the doctors guilty of murder. How do you prove it was the actual Ketamine that killed him ? He was also under the influence of other drugs.
They sold him drugs, they should go to prison just like any other drug dealer.
Everybody is pointing the finger at other people for the fact that he died. Nobody put a gun to his head to make him do drugs. Matthew Perry was a grown man who was responsible for his actions. He made a decision to do drugs. Nobody held him hostage and forced him to do drugs endlessly.
Matthew Perry wasn’t a child, a teenager !!!!! Matthew Perry was an adult come on !!!!
No one forced Perry to take those drugs. I think this is stupid.
Sad as it is ... what about the government supplying liquor and tabbaco to addicts? Just because it is legal doesn't mean that they are not profiting off of the misery of the addicted individual. Being greedy can be considered an addiction as well. Nobody wins where addiction is concerned.
Don't put innocent people in jail .
Isn’t he an adult who knows what is right from wrong?
A "broad underground criminal network" of a few doctors and a Hollywood assistant. I doubt it. Perry had money and influence. These persecutors are using ridiculously hyperbolic words to explain how money and power can buy dangerous choices. As a pain patient advocate, this same language is used when they prosecute the doctors who treat the pain of the disabled and dying. Don't let them fool you with this exaggerated language. I'm truly sorry that Perry passed, but punishing doctors isn't the way to go (unless no one wants to have their pain treated when they have cancer or surgery) - which, as a patient advocate, I can tell you is already happening. People are dying while screaming in pain. This is where it ends.
You make great points. My cousin was a recent surgery patient and in great pain. The hospital would only give her frigging useless tylenol. Tylenol, which can cause liver damage. She finally got some other med, but for a full week in the hospital after surgery they only gave her the other med three times total. She is a grown adult and they were so stingy with pain meds. She was inpatient and in pain for most of her hospital stay. They should be charged with patient abuse.
Somehow the media puts like all these people force fed drugs to poor Matthew he was an adult and responsible for his own choices
Its heartbreaking 😢
Why is everything in America always somebody else's fault? The country of personal irresponsibility.
Enough is enough...exploitation of the weak puts someone in Dante's lowest rung of hell, or should. This talented man was no 'moron' and that comment alone along with how much $ the doctors could make tells you they forgot: first do no harm, the Hippocratic oath. The harm they did to a man in emotional and physical distress is more than criminal, it is sacriligious. Perry had enough self torment to justify therapeutic doses of anything that could get him some peace. These docs and dealers and trusted friend killed him...
Agreed.. Absolutely..
Very sad but mathew participated by putting it into his body.
Perry should have admitted himself to rehab.
I'm so glad the dr's, along with other's involved, are finally being brought up on charges for this. It's just so sad, & enraging, that other OD victims, resulting in death or not, that aren't celebrity death status, don't receive the same law enforcement help, & judicial justices, that celebrities receive
Why are they charging these people when it’s Matt can’t help his addiction he said one time he goes to open houses to steal drugs in their med cabinets?? Its choice to an addictive… he can go to other MD’s if they refused…
Perry is just as responsible for his death
KNOWING HE WAS ADDICTED TO DRUGS THOSE ASSHOLES SHOULD NOT ONLY BE CHARGED BUT, THE 2 DOCTORS SHOULD NEVER EVER BE ALLOWEDTO BE DOCTORS EVER AGAIN. REST IN PEACE MR. PERRY SADLY MISSED BY YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND FANS. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢
This is so sickening
There is not anybody in low-income neighborhoods getting the kind of attention this actor is getting. Which is 💯 ridiculous when low-income neighborhoods are flooded with drugs, poverty, and crime. Nobody coming to aid the less fortunate or sue the dealers pushing their product. No arrests made. Whatever happened to ONE world 🌎??
😮
Government has nothing to do with the death of Matthew Perry and Ketamine . Stefan your wrong buddy .
They have everything to do with the zombies on the streets though.
What if Matthew Perry were someone who was insignificant or an ordinary addict who died of overdose. Would the media showed so much interest and held others for his death!!! Hoe would his ketamine providers benefit from his demise???
This is MJ all over again 🫣
They wasn't aggressive like this for MJ though
Let this be a reminder that drug dealers and addicts come from all zip codes and professions. A shame shame shame.
Perry's Ketamine death further spotlights the absurd verdict in, "Take Care of Maya" case that resulted from Maya's mother insisting John Hopkin's provide lethal doses.
Everyone is guilty except Perry 😐
He was sick obviously… they took advantage of his habit to make money… do you think this is ok ?
@@marthaluciagonzalez1945 it’s not ok obviously 🙄that’s why there will be prison. But this grownup man was taking heavy drugs left and right most of his life. For the money he paid for them he could’ve fed a small country. This is not right! And that’s an excuse for depression? Please 🙄 He was overpaying these doctors for high doses and his last words were shoot me a big one. This is nuts !
This is so sad. He was very addicted at his death, even if he didn't believe he was. It's truly horrible that he was enabled so horribly not only by the two Doctors involved in the case, but his personal assistant of 30 (!) years. You can't buy care from another person.
Zero sympathy!
He would never have died if the drs would have refused him.
This is criminal throw away the key 🔑
Worst Lawyer be like... whether or not that is actually what happened we will have to if it plays out. Good Lawyer be like... My Client is INNOCENT and will not be commenting further!
He did not have to take it or buy it really
Was it his “FRIENDS???”
trump has said numerous times that if he's re elected 1 of the things he will do is harsher penalties & sentences on drug dealers
Don the con 😂
Hes fault period
Strange at the left and strange at the right freaking crazy sideline negligence
Now, we have to make sure addicts are not invited to the parties or we could get charged for their behavior.
Perry admitted his substance abuse. Why is it that the people he begged to provide it for him are charged. I think he would roll over in his grave actually. Just like in the MIchael Jackson case- it seems that if you are rich and famous- SOMEONE has to be blamed. Sorry for the poor sods who gave him anything. If I were a doctor, I would never treat anyone who was this known or wealthy for fear of repercussions. He took too much and fell asleep and drowned in his hot tube. Very sad- but not criminal..
Well, charging him thousands for $12 worth of ketamine, surely there's some illegality in that. If that text message is real, the doctor was clearly having fun seeing how much he could extort from Perry, while he was an addict desperate for a fix. Drug dealers probably do that, but doctors aren't supposed to.
It's more than sad for all who were involved. Matt Perry died because he used drugs in excess to what his body could tolerate. An addict's mission is to do whatever it takes to satisfy body, brain, and soul that are diseased. "One is too many, and one thousand is not enough" Matt died by his own hand, and I believe he is no longer in pain.
Meanwhile people who need Glp-1 meds can't obtain it😔
Breaks my heart:-(
GUYS MILITARY LOCAL PDS TEAMS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SENT EVERY STATE IS GOING TO NEED A DIFFERENT TEAM
What annoys me full stop is that just because Perry is a celeb he is allowed to get ketamine legally, who else could ha! And that killed him so I suppose you can look at it two ways , he clearly used it recreationally , and didn't just micro dose. Most of us don't kill our selves with k. In fact its almost impossible if you take it your self, inject or snort, because you would be in a K hole before you could take too much ( K hole = cannot move) The thing abouyt ketamine is that it do3esnt reduce your heart rate, so his issue must have been he k holed and drowned as he was in a hot tub
I bet alot of people on here saying matthew is the only one to blame and not the dealers, are most likely dealers themselves. Thats something a drug dealer would say
Where were Perry's family or friends during his new addiction period. Him doing that much ketamine is a red flag 🚩 for loved ones.
No intervention?
Im suprised unless he wasn't close to anyone
Definitely that last dose was the lethal dose, he had some at 8:30 in the morning then a second injection at 12:45 p.m. then 40 minutes later gave him another injection🤦♀️too close togethe,r how stupid are people, apparently very very very very stupid, he should have never left him alone like that🤦♀️ though these doctors should not have been using him as a cash cow this angers me very much😡
No wonder this was a closed investigation for so long. Good for Perry’s family for realizing something was off and sucks that he was taken advantage of by people he trusted. Just goes to show you can’t trust people sometimes, especially when you’re famous or have money.
You took an oath!!! dont you remember what you where thinking while you were taking the Hippocratic oath? what a shame!!! rot in jail.
amazing how the conspiracy theories always turn out correct
And I’m afraid to take an extra Advil 😢 Why do people put this shit in their body. Wow
Yes, that’s going to be a hard case for the prosecutor and the DA approved because there’s five people involved. I have a feeling that the DA is going to offer a deal.
5 arrested: Joey, Monica, Rachel, Ross and Phoebe! Get it, his "friends."
😂
Michael Jackson all over again
So its everybody's fault but his own? He should have never took the drugs or looked for them. Nobodys at fault but him
My drug dealer was a doctor ...ethics people ..oath!!
He got into the water while high. I feel bad for the assistant who was just doing his job. The doctors are another story.
Jerks took advantage of him 😢
Oh please
Rest in Peace!!😊
Arrest all involved with life sentence. No one learned after Michael Jackson and Prince.
This poor soul 😢😢😢 You had to take care of him. His assistant should of called his parents
He CHOSE to do and indulge in the drugs. It’s his own fault.
@@petsmart1000and the so called doctors told him to take a dosage three times higher than what was normal. He may be an addict but it’s not stupid to trust your doctors and assistant smh even if you blame him you can’t not blame the others in his life who just wanted his money and exploited his addiction
