Iwamasa and Fleming each pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, while Fleming also pled guilty to one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. Meanwhile, Sangha has pleaded not guilty to multiple drug-related charges.
While the investigation into Perry’s death is ongoing, those close to him, like Friends creator Marta Kauffman, are hoping fans can focus on his acting legacy.
“Two things come to mind [about how to celebrate him]: one of them is to donate to drug treatment centers—let’s fight the disease,” Kauffman told The Times on Aug. 16. “And the second way is to watch Friends and remember him not as a man who died like that but as a man who was hilariously funny and brought joy to everybody.”
