Just when you thought the drama was limited to TV, five people, including Matthew Perry's personal assistant and two doctors, have been charged after the 'Friends' star's tragic death. What's the story behind this shocking investigation?

In a shocking turn of events, five individuals, including the personal assistant of beloved "Friends" star Matthew Perry and two doctors, have been charged in connection with his untimely death.

This news has not only stunned fans but has also ignited a serious investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

The California Department of Justice announced the arrest of these five individuals, who are accused of exploiting Perry's well-documented addiction struggles. Prosecutors revealed that charges include conspiracy to distribute ketamine, a powerful anesthetic that the actor reportedly had in his system at the time of his tragic death. The now-infamous assistant and doctors are being scrutinized for their roles in Perry's life, particularly in relation to the management of his addiction.

The investigation has deepened as more details emerge. It has been reported that the prosecution referred to one of the defendants as the “Ketamine Queen,” highlighting the disturbing nature of the allegations.
