The Case Unfolds
Jasveen Sangha, infamously dubbed the “Ketamine Queen,” has agreed to plead guilty to five federal criminal charges linked to the tragic death of “Friends” actor Matthew Perry. The charges include maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of ketamine distribution, and one count of distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury. This plea marks the conclusion of the legal saga surrounding Perry’s overdose.
Prosecutors allege that Sangha supplied the ketamine that ultimately led to Perry’s overdose in October 2023, which tragically ended the actor’s life.
Legal Fallout & Potential Sentencing
With this plea, Sangha avoids the trial scheduled for September and becomes the last of five individuals to enter guilty pleas in connection with Perry’s death.
The sentencing phase will determine her fate, which could include decades behind bars. She faces up to:
- 20 years for maintaining a drug-involved premises,
- Up to 10 years for each ketamine distribution count,
- Up to 15 years for the count that resulted in death or serious injury.
A Case Rooted in Addiction & Misconduct
Matthew Perry, beloved for his role as Chandler on “Friends,” struggled with addiction. His death was ruled as caused by the acute effects of ketamine, compounded by other medical factors.
Sangha’s role is central: she distributed ketamine to intermediaries who passed it to Perry. Her home in North Hollywood was raided—agents seized vials of ketamine, methamphetamine, and other narcotics.
Public & Legal Repercussions
The plea deal casts a long shadow. Sangha’s path from influencer to accused reflects the blurred line between celebrity drug culture and lethal consequences. It’s a grim milestone in Perry’s posthumous saga, and a high-profile warning against illicit drug distribution—even in affluent circles.
