  • The plaque, added recently, features his name, dates of birth and death, and the epitaph 'Much loved – Friend –', a clear nod to his iconic sitcom.
  • Perry was 54 when he died, with an autopsy revealing the cause as the acute effects of ketamine, alongside contributing factors like drowning and coronary artery disease.
  • Following a seven-month investigation, five individuals were federally charged in connection with his death.
  • Dr Salvador Plasencia, who sold ketamine to Perry, was sentenced to 30 months in prison, while another doctor, Mark Chavez, received eight months of home detention; three others await sentencing.
