Recently released documents shed light on the tragic events leading to the untimely death of a beloved actor last October. The investigation has resulted in charges against five individuals, including three doctors, a so-called Ketamine Queen, and the actor's live-in assistant. The actor, known for his role in the popular TV show Friends, had been receiving ketamine treatments from his regular doctor to manage depression. However, he sought access to more ketamine than his prescription allowed.

According to the documents, the actor's assistant paid a doctor a significant sum of money for ketamine and was shown how to administer the drug. Subsequently, the assistant began purchasing vials of ketamine from various sources, including an acquaintance of the actor and the self-proclaimed Ketamine Queen. The assistant injected the actor multiple times with ketamine, leading up to the day of his death.

On the day of the actor's passing, the assistant administered ketamine to him multiple times, as per the documents. Tragically, the actor was found unresponsive in a hot tub later that day. Paramedics declared the actor deceased upon their arrival, with the coroner's report citing ketamine as the primary cause of death, followed by drowning.
