US EditionAlleged ‘Ketamine Queen’ Agrees to Plead Guilty in Matthew Perry Overdose Case
- On October 28, 2023, Matthew Perry was found dead in the jacuzzi of his Los Angeles home at age 54.
- Perry's death resulted from the acute effects of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects, which he obtained from multiple suppliers including Jasveen Sangha.
- Jasveen Sangha, known as the 'Ketamine Queen,' was indicted after her home was raided in March 2024, and she was charged with multiple counts including distribution of ketamine causing death.
- Jasveen Sangha will enter a guilty plea on five federal charges, including distribution of ketamine causing death, thereby avoiding a trial that had been scheduled for August and facing a potential sentence of up to 45 years in prison.
- Perry had publicly acknowledged long-term substance abuse dating back to his peak fame on 'Friends,' and officials say suppliers exploited his addiction, which contributed to his fatal overdose.
