Doctor pleads guilty in connection with Matthew Perry's death

A San Diego doctor pleaded guilty to a felony count of conspiring to distribute the surgical anesthetic ketamine on Wednesday, an act that resulted in the death of actor Matthew Perry. 

Dr. Mark Chavez said he gave Dr. Salvador Plasencia 22 5-milliliter vials of ketamine and nine ketamine lozenges that were eventually sold to Perry, according to reporting from The Associated Press. 

Chavez was originally charged along with four other individuals in August but was not placed in police custody.
