Known for his role as Chandler Bing on the TV show &#8220;Friends,&#8221; Perry&#8217;s death sparked speculation regarding potential drug use, given his history of addiction. An autopsy revealed that he died from the acute effects of the anesthetic ketamine, leading to several arrests of individuals involved in enabling his drug habits.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Salvador Plasencia has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-president-trump-to-pardon-gen-michael-flynn-per-report\/\" title=\"BREAKING: President Trump to Pardon Gen. Michael Flynn, Per Report\">pleaded guilty<\/a> to charges of distributing ketamine to Perry in the month preceding his death. As part of a plea deal, Plasencia agreed to plead guilty to four counts of distribution, with a possibility of facing up to 40 years in prison. Other defendants, including another doctor, have also entered guilty pleas related to the case, but none have been sentenced yet. The article highlights the tragic turn of events linked to Perry&#8217;s struggle with addiction and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/j-k-rowling-could-be-jailed-for-the-truthful-name-she-called-a-transgender-person\/\" title=\"J.K.
