Ahead of the sentencing of Dr. Salvador Placenscia, one of the five people convicted for Matthew Perry’s death, the Friends star’s parents have reportedly shared a statement in new victim impact letters submitted to the court. The couple called Placenscia “among the most culpable of all.”
New report says Matthew Perry’s parents have made statement ahead of sentencing
Ahead of Dr. Salvador Placenscia’s sentencing, whom many consider has the most to do with Matthew Perry’s ketamine overdose death, Perry’s parents reportedly released statements, sharing their grief in the victim impact letters (via Rolling Stone).
As per reports, the late actor’s mother and stepfather, Suzanne and Keith Morrison, wrote, “How do you measure grief? Can you possibly provide any rational accounting? The bottom falling out? Yes, that. Here was a life so entwined with ours and held aloft sometimes with duct tape and baling wire, with anything that might keep that big, terrible thing from killing our firstborn son, and our hearts with him. And then those greedy jackals come out of the dark, and all the effort is for naught; it all crashes down.”
Matthew Perry‘s parents expressed their pain in the same report as a “deep well,” and called the doctor, “among the most culpable of all.”
They added, “No one alive and in touch with the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew’s struggles. But this doctor conspired to break his most important vows, repeatedly, sneaked through the night to meet his victim in secret.” Wondering if the motive was simply money, they concluded, “Some things are very hard to understand.”
Perry’s father and stepmother, John and Debby Perry, also gave out a statement. They claimed in the report above that Plasencia “didn’t deserve to hear” their feelings. The duo stated, “Matthew’s recovery counted on you saying NO. Your motives? I can’t imagine. A doctor whose life is devoted to helping people? Whatever were you thinking? How long did you possibly see supplying Matthew countless doses without his death to eventually follow? Did you care? Did you think?” They also called for a longer sentence for the doctor.
Matthew Perry’s death on 28 October 2023 remains one of the most tragic incidents in recent years in Hollywood.
