A drug addiction counselor named Erik Fleming was sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement in the death of actor Matthew Perry. Fleming, who was 56, provided Perry with ketamine, a drug that led to the actor’s death. He later became an informant in the investigation, helping authorities identify Jasveen Sangha, known as “The Ketamine Queen,” who supplied the drugs. Fleming’s cooperation with the investigation reduced his potential prison sentence. Despite his role in the case, prosecutors criticized Fleming for not coming forward sooner and for his moral responsibility as a counselor. This case highlights the dangers of drug misuse and the responsibilities of those in positions of trust.
