Two years after FRIENDS alum Matthew Perry’s death due to drug overdose, dealer Jasveen Sangha has agreed to plead guilty to supplying drugs to the actor that led to his unfortunate demise. The 42-year-old Ketamine Queen will plead guilty to five charges in Los Angeles, including one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
As per reports, federal prosecutors called Jasveen Sangha’s house a “drug-selling emporium”, and she is expected to appear in federal court in the upcoming weeks to seek a plea agreement.
Who is Jasveen Sangha?
Jasveen Sangha, popularly known as the Ketamine Queen, is a dual citizen of the United States and the UK. According to her social media presence, Jasveen leads a lavish lifestyle, including luxury vacations and high-end treatments. As per NBC News reports, Jasveen graduated from Calabasas High in 2001 and earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Irvine, in 2005 and then went on to complete her MBA from Hult Business School in 2010. After graduating, Jasveen landed a job at Merrill Lynch and allegedly ran an underground drug operation.
As per BBC reports, authorities found 80 vials of ketamine during a search before her arrest in 2024. Along with the vials, they also found variations of pills, including methamphetamine, cocaine and Xanax. Before her arrest, she was reportedly selling drugs to multiple Hollywood celebrities from her North Hollywood residence.
What Was Jasveen Sangha’s Role in Matthew Perry’s Death?
According to reports, Jasveen sold Matthew Perry 25 vials of ketamine for $6000 just four days before his death on October 28, 2023. Jasveen has been in federal custody since August 2024 and is expected to formally enter her plea in the coming weeks. As per LA Times reports, Jasveen could face up to 65 years in prison based on the plea agreement, but the federal prosecutors have agreed to seek to lessen the time served only if Jasveen accepts responsibility.
Jasveen Sangha became the fifth and final defendant charged in the case. Others charged in relation to Matthew Perry’s death were Dr Salvador Plasencia, Dr Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Eric Fleming. Iwamasa worked as Matthew Perry’s live-in assistant, who helped the actor buy and inject ketamine, while Fleming sold ketamine to the actor, which he got from Jasveen. The defendants have yet to be sentenced.
What Happened to Matthew Perry?
The 54-year-old FRIENDS alum was found in an unconscious state in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home and was declared dead. An autopsy report discovered that he had high levels of ketamine in his system, which was the primary cause of his death.
