US Edition'Ketamine Queen' sentenced to 15 years in Matthew Perry overdose death
Prosecutors said Sangha sold ketamine that killed Matthew Perry and linked her to another overdose death.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett sentenced Jasveen Sangha to 15 years in federal prison for supplying the ketamine that caused actor Matthew Perry's death in 2023.
- Prosecutors labeled Sangha the "Ketamine Queen," alleging she operated a "drug-selling emporium" from her North Hollywood home, distributing methamphetamine, cocaine, and Xanax since at least 2019.
- Sangha sold Perry 25 vials of ketamine for $6,000 in cash four days before his death; she also admitted selling drugs to Cody McLaury, 33, who died from overdose in 2019.
- Perry's stepmother Debbie Perry called Sangha "heartless" in a victim impact statement submitted Tuesday, while prosecutors wrote that upon learning her drugs caused Perry's death, "She didn't care and kept selling."
- Four other defendants, including physicians Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez, have pleaded guilty in the case, with remaining sentencing hearings for Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa scheduled later this month.
