Drug Counselor Faces Sentencing Over Matthew Perry’s Ketamine Death
A licensed drug addiction counselor who supplied Matthew Perry with the fatal dose of ketamine is scheduled for sentencing. The counselor, Erik Fleming, admitted to distributing ketamine which resulted in the actor’s death and faces a requested sentence of 2 1/2 years in prison. His defense is seeking a reduced sentence of three months imprisonment and nine months in a residential drug treatment facility, citing his significant cooperation with investigators and efforts toward atonement. Fleming obtained the ketamine from a convicted drug dealer known as “The Ketamine Queen,” who received a 15-year prison sentence.
