Dr. Salvador Plascencia is awaiting trial for providing Perry ketamine and enabling his overdose

The TMZ documentary also reveals enablers and rehabilitation centers that play a role in the world of celebrity drug access.
No doctors have been specifically named in by TMZ yet, only that doctors accused of illegally getting Perry ketamine are involved.
Dr. Salvador Plascencia, 42, and Dr. Mark Chavez, 54, are the two doctors who have been accused of being connected to Perrys death.
Chavez reached a plea deal in August after admitting to selling ketamine to Plascencia. He filled fake prescriptions using a former patients name and lied to wholesale ketamine distributers about how much he needed, according to the United States Attorneys Office.
Plascencia, alongside North Hollywoods Ketamine Queen Jasveen Sangha, 41, is being charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine.

Both Plascencia and Sangha pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial.
Perry, who was being treated for depression through ketamine infusion therapy, spent $55,000 buying ketamine from Plascencia in the two months before he died on October 28, 2023.
His death was attributed to drowning and the acute effects of ketamine. He was found face-down in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home.
Despite claiming he was sober in a memoir, sources told DailyMail.com after his death that he would have younger hook-ups from the dating apps to deliver drugs to his house.
