The high-profile investigation into the tragic passing of Friends icon Matthew Perry has reached a major turning point. Jasveen Sangha, famously dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” by federal prosecutors has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.
The Fatal Connection
Following Perry’s overdose in October 2023, authorities uncovered a sophisticated “drug-selling emporium” operating out of Sangha’s North Hollywood home. Investigators proved that the high-concentration ketamine found in Perry’s system was traced directly back to her stash.
The Charges
Sangha, 41, faced the music after pleading guilty to:
- Conspiracy to distribute ketamine.
- Distribution of ketamine resulting in death.
This wasn’t just about one dealer; the case blew the lid off a toxic Hollywood supply chain. Alongside Sangha, two doctors and Perry’s own personal assistant were implicated in a scheme that funneled thousands of dollars worth of the drug to the actor, exploiting his long-term battle with addiction.
While no sentence can bring back the man who gave us Chandler Bing, the 15-year term serves as a massive wake-up call to those profiting off the vulnerabilities of the stars. Perry’s family has voiced their hope that this brings a sense of closure and serves as a deterrent to the “death peddlers” operating in the shadows of the industry.
