Actor Mathew Perry's Death
Jasveen Sangha, "LA's Ketamine Queen’ Pleads Guilty
The US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California on Monday announced that,
The glamorous “Ketamine Queen” drug dealer who supplied the fatal dose that killed “Friends” star Matthew Perry has accepted a guilty plea to numerous federal charges connected to the actor’s death.
Jasveen Sangha, 42, agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distributing ketamine, and one for the distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury.
She admitted to dealing party drugs like ketamine and MDMA, along with other drugs like Xanax and cocaine out of her North Hollywood home.
Sangha, a dual citizen of the US and the United Kingdom, faces up to 45 years in prison across all charges, though it is unclear if her terms would be served consecutively or concurrently.
The 54-year-old Perry was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Oct. 28, 2023, and ketamine was the primary cause of death, according to the medical examiner.
Sangha also admitted to supplying ketamine to a man who died of an overdose hours later in August 2019. She was previously accused of selling meth out of her home, with the dealing beginning sometime around June 2019.
Neighbors said something suspicious always appeared to be up at her home, with people describing shady characters with suitcases constantly coming and going at late hours.
Sangha's case raises a question, how many drug dealers like her still operating from their homes and in close circles, unknown to law.
