The final words of Friends star Matthew Perry have been disclosed in court papers obtained by NBC News.
According to the documents, Perry’s last words were directed to his longtime assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, as he said, “Shoot me up with a big one.”
Iwamasa has admitted guilt to numerous ketamine distribution charges and is accused of being responsible for administering the fatal dose of ketamine that led to Perry’s overdose.
Prosecutors allege in the indictment that Iwamasa administered 27 doses of ketamine to Perry during his last week, including three injections that they claim caused Perry’s death.
In addition to Iwamasa, two doctors and Jasveen Sangha, referred to as “The Ketamine Queen” by prosecutors, have been arrested in connection with Perry’s overdose death.

Per The Daily Beast:
New details have emerged about Friends star Matthew Perry’s final hours after five people have been charged in connection with his death from the acute effects of ketamine.
According to court papers obtained by NBC News, Perry told his longtime assistant Kenneth Iwamasa to “Shoot me up with a big one” the night he received the fatal doses. Iwamasa, who pled guilty to various ketamine distribution charges in exchange for a plea deal, would inject Perry himself with the drug despite having no medical training.
After connecting with a doctor by the name of Salvador Plasencia, who connected Perry to the drug through “Ketamine Queen” Jasveen Sangha in September 2023, the actor was receiving six to eight shots per day in the month leading up to his death on October 28, 2023.
The documents also said that Perry requested three shots of ketamine in just six hours the day he died. It was after the third that Iwamasa went out to run errands and returned to find Perry face down in the heated end of his pool. Perry’s longtime assistant admitted to authorities that he had administered 27 shots of ketamine to Perry within his final five days.
Perry’s final Instagram post showed him relaxing in his hot tub, the very same one where he was later discovered deceased.
