Jasveen Sangha, also known as the Ketamine Queen, pleaded guilty in connection to the death of Friends star Matthew Perry.
Sangha, 42, agreed to plead guilty to five charges including one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury and three counts of distribution of ketamine, according to the Department of Justice.
“She is expected to formally enter a guilty plea in the coming weeks,” the department revealed.
Sangha has been in federal custody since August 2024, 10 months after the death of the beloved actor.
The Ketamine Queen — who is a dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom — is expected to be sentenced in the coming months. She is facing up to 65 years in prison.
Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Pacific Palisades home on October 28, 2023. He was 54 years old.
According to the plea deal, Sangha along with Erik Fleming distributed ketamine to the Fools Rush In star, knowing his past struggles with drug addiction.
“In October 2023, Sangha and Fleming sold Perry 51 vials of ketamine, which were provided to Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, of Toluca Lake, Perry’s live-in personal assistant,” the department announced. “Leading up to Perry’s death, Iwamasa repeatedly injected Perry with the ketamine that Sangha supplied to Fleming. Specifically, on October 28, 2023, Iwamasa injected Perry with at least three shots of Sangha’s ketamine, which caused Perry’s death.”
Sangha will also plead guilty to “selling four vials” to Cody McLaury in August 2019, resulting in his death.
Iwamasa pleaded guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death. He is facing up to 15 years in federal prison. Fleming pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death that same month and faces up to 25 years in federal prison.
