However, nearly a year later, a bombshell emerged: five people—including Perry's personal assistant, two doctors, and a Hollywood drug dealer—were charged with conspiring to illegally provide him with ketamine. This documentary weaves Perry's rise to fame with the tragic events leading to his final days, as he allegedly received ketamine from individuals "who should have known better."
