Who is Jasveen Sangha, the Ketamine Queen who Allegedly Sold Matthew Perry Fatal Drugs?

A dual US-UK citizen known as the ‘Ketamine Queen’ is expected to plead guilty to five federal charges connected to the death of actor Matthew Perry.

Jasveen Sangha, 42, was one of five people charged in connection with the ketamine overdose that killed Friends star Matthew Perry on 28 October 2023. Prosecutors allege that Sangha supplied Perry with ketamine via co-defendant Erik Fleming and the actor's live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. Iwamasa allegedly injected Perry with at least three doses of Sangha's ketamine the day he died.

The US Attorney's Office claims that Sangha was a major supplier of ketamine in Los Angeles and catered to high-profile clients. Perry's long-standing struggles with substance misuse were well-documented, and prosecutors claimed the defendants had taken advantage of his addiction for profit. Sangha's plea comes nearly a year after Perry was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his home in Los Angeles.
