Erik Fleming, a licensed drug addiction counselor who supplied ketamine to the late actor Matthew Perry, was sentenced to two years in prison on Wednesday. Fleming pleaded guilty in 2024 to conspiracy to distribute ketamine and distribution of ketamine resulting in death, admitting he sold 51 vials of the drug to Perry’s assistant, including the fatal dose. Perry, famous for his role as Chandler Bing on "Friends," died on October 28, 2023, from the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning and other factors contributing. Fleming expressed deep remorse in court, stating he took "full responsibility." Prosecutors had sought a downward departure from sentencing guidelines due to Fleming's early acceptance of responsibility and cooperation, which led to identifying the original source of the ketamine, Jasveen Sangha. Sangha, who was deemed more culpable, previously received a 15-year sentence. Fleming's sentence also includes three years of supervised release.

Key Points:

- Addiction counselor Erik Fleming received a two-year prison sentence for supplying Matthew Perry with the fatal dose of ketamine.

- Fleming pleaded guilty to distribution of ketamine resulting in death and cooperated with authorities to identify the primary source.

- This sentencing follows those of four other individuals charged in connection with Perry's 2023 death, including the main supplier, Jasveen Sangha.
