Ketamine Queen' to Plead Guilty in Matthew Perry's Death
Jasveen Sangha, known as the 'Ketamine Queen,' has accepted a guilty plea in connection with the overdose death of 'Friends' star Matthew Perry.
Sangha, 42, will plead guilty to five counts, including a count of distributing ketamine that led to a person's death, as well as a charge of maintaining a 'drug involved' premises.
She faces at least 11 years in prison at her sentencing, which is expected to be held sometime in the coming months.
Sangha is the last of five defendants to plead guilty in connection with Perry's death.
The late actor was found dead at his home in October 2023.
Sangha has been in federal custody since August 2024 and was due to go on trial in Los Angeles on September 23.
Perry's doctor, Salvador Plasencia, agreed in June to plead guilty to supplying him with ketamine, though not with the fatal dose.
Three other defendants — Erik Fleming, Kenneth Iwamasa and Mark Chavez — previously agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to supply ketamine.
According to prosecutors, Sangha and Fleming supplied Iwamasa, who was Perry's assistant, with 51 vials of ketamine shortly before the actor's death. Iwamasa then injected Perry, leading to his death.
After learning of Perry's death, Sangha allegedly sought to cover her tracks, instructing Fleming to "delete all our messages.'
Federal authorities raided Sangha's home in North Hollywood in March 2024 and found 79 vials of liquid ketamine.
They also discovered MDMA tablets, counterfeit Xanax pills, and a gold money counting machine among other drug paraphernalia, according to the plea agreement.
As part of the plea, Sangha also admitted to supplying ketamine to Cody McLaury in August 2019. McLaury, 33, died of an overdose hours later.
