‘Ketamine Queen’ Learns Her Fate for Selling Drugs to Matthew Perry

Perry publicly struggled with addiction for years before his death in 2023.

Summary of reporting by headtopics 1 min read Markdown

Jasveen Sangha, 42, known as the “ketamine queen,” was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday for her role in selling the ketamine that killed actor Matthew Perry. Sangha pleaded guilty last year to five federal counts connected with Perry’s fatal overdose. According to prosecutors, when Sangha learned of the actor’s death, she quickly tried to destroy evidence of her involvement, instructing an associate to “delete all our messages.”

Sangha is one of several people who pleaded guilty in the case, including former doctors Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez. Perry, who played Chandler on the sitcom Friends, had publicly struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for decades. He died at age 54 in 2023.

During the sentencing hearing, Perry’s stepfather, Keith Morrison, addressed Sangha directly, telling her: “I feel bad for you Miss Sangha. I don’t hate you. You are a drug dealer.”
