Police say 5 arrested in connection with actor Matthew Perry's death

A prosecutor says five people have been charged in connection with Matthew Perry's death from a ketamine overdose last year, including the actor's assistant and two doctors.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada announced the charges Thursday, saying the doctors supplied Perry with a large amount of ketamine and even wondered in a text message how much the former “Friends” star would be willing to pay.

Just in case you forgot that celebrities are more important than you, here's this.

Meanwhile the elderly have their meds taken away because of situations like this.

Imagine if all overdoses were treated this way.

He couldn't handle his drugs .Hollywood is known to string people with addictive personalities out .

An addict does it himself. It's not there fault. But u can't be a doctor and sell scripts like that as well.😊

A life long addict by his own admission and dies due to his self inflicted addiction and choice…. Awe the life of a celebrity. Then and only then we must use the police to track down the dealers… if it’s some Joe Blow- meh, another tragedy and they move on with their day as they step over the body.
