Jasveen Sangha, also known as the Ketamine Queen, has accepted to plead guilty to the distribute drug that caused the sad death of the Friends Actor Matthew Perry. The 42-year old US-UK dual citizen is charged with five federal offenses in Los Angeles one of which is ketamine distribution where there was serious bodily injury or death as the US Justice Department claims.
Federal authorities outlined that the residence in Los Angeles maintained by Sangha served as an area to sell drugs, with federal agents retrieving in excess of 80 vials of ketamine in their area, as well as methamphetamine, cocaine and Xanax. Perry revived in his backyard hot tub in October 2023 before dying by the acute effects of Ketamine, triggering a highly-publicized investigation of Hollywoods illicit drug supply chain.
One of the five defendants who have all pleaded to plead guilty is Sangha, along with doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez, the assistant Kenneth Iwamasa to Perry and dealer Eric Fleming. Authorities claimed that Sangha was dealing ketamine as early as seven years before and operated a so-called Sangha Stash House, providing celebrities and other affluent clients.

Mark Geragos, the lawyer of Ms. F agreeing with him on terms said that Ms. F is taking responsibility of what she has done. The Jasveen Sangha case has disclosed the deadly growth of ketamine abuse within Hollywood elite.
