Counsellor jailed for two years over Matthew Perry ketamine death

Erik Fleming, a 56-year-old drug addiction counsellor, was sentenced to two years in federal prison plus three years of supervised release and a $200 fine after pleading guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine linked to Matthew Perry’s October 2023 death, caused by the acute effects of ketamine. Fleming helped source ketamine from the so-called Ketamine Queen and supplied it to Perry, making him the fourth of five people sentenced in the case. Prosecutors sought a longer term, but the judge ordered the two-year sentence, with Fleming expressing remorse in court.

Perry ketamine scheme yields two-year federal sentence for counselor Erik Fleming

Erik Fleming, a licensed drug counselor who pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute ketamine tied to Matthew Perry’s death, was sentenced in a Los Angeles federal court to 24 months in prison with a $200 special assessment and a June 29 surrender date. Prosecutors had urged a longer term (30 months) while Fleming’s lawyers cited cooperation and remorse. Fleming sold 51 vials of ketamine to Perry in October 2023, including the portion that contributed to Perry’s death; Perry died of an accidental ketamine overdose with drowning and other factors noted by the medical examiner. Fleming cooperated with investigators; Jasveen Sangha, nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen,” was previously sentenced to 15 years, and two doctors connected to the case faced separate sentences.
