The person authorities called Matthew Perry<\/a>\u2018s \u201cstreet dealer,\u201d Erik Fleming<\/strong>, previously managed a fancy rehab center where a patient died, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a> recently revealed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Erik Fleming, a former film director, admitted guilt to two charges after the Department of Justice discovered he sold several ketamine vials to Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, just before the Friends<\/em> star’s death in October 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fleming was one of five people charged<\/a> in relation to Perry’s fatal ketamine overdose.<\/p>\n

Now, The Hollywood Reporter has uncovered that Fleming was running the program and sober living at an upscale Bel-Air treatment facility called Red Door when a 36-year-old patient, William Cooney<\/strong>, died from an overdose in January 2021.<\/p>\n

Michael J. Plonsker, Red Door’s lawyer, told THR<\/em> that Fleming worked there when Cooney died, but \u201cwas not at the facility on the day\u201d it happened.<\/p>\n
