Five people, including Matthew Perry's assistant and two doctors, have been charged following Perry's death from a ketamine overdose last year, according to prosecutor Martin Estrada.

Estrada highlighted how the doctors provided Perry with excessive ketamine and discussed financial exploitation in text messages. Estrada added that the defendants knowingly took advantage of Perry's addiction issues for personal gain.

Perry, best known for his role in 'Friends', was found dead by his assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, in October. Authorities revealed that his death involved ketamine injections. The case has drawn significant attention, underlining the risks of drug misuse among high-profile individuals.
