Erik Fleming, a licensed drug addiction counselor, was sentenced to two years in federal prison Wednesday for his role in providing the ketamine that killed actor Matthew Perry in October 2023. Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett delivered the sentence in Los Angeles federal court.

Fleming, 56, pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. He admitted to selling 51 vials of ketamine to Perry, including doses delivered four days before the actor's death. Fleming obtained the drugs from Jasveen Sangha, whom prosecutors called "The Ketamine Queen," and sold them at a markup to Perry's live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa.

Perry, who starred as Chandler Bing on the NBC sitcom "Friends," died at age 54 from the acute effects of ketamine, with drowning as a secondary cause. The actor had been receiving legal ketamine treatments for depression but sought additional supplies beyond what his doctors would prescribe. Fleming connected Perry to Sangha after being contacted through a mutual friend.

Fleming was one of five people prosecuted in connection with Perry's death. His sentence was reduced from an estimated four years due to his cooperation with investigators, as he immediately provided information about Sangha when contacted by authorities. During sentencing, Fleming expressed remorse, telling the court he was "haunted by the mistakes I made."

Sangha previously received a 15-year prison sentence, the longest among the defendants. Dr. Salvador Plasencia was sentenced to 2.5 years for distributing ketamine to Perry, while Dr. Mark Chavez received eight months of home confinement. Iwamasa, Perry's assistant who administered the fatal injections, is scheduled to be sentenced on May 27.
