Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for distributing the drug that led to the death of Friends actor Matthew Perry.

Jasveen Sangha, 42, pleaded guilty to five charges, including distribution of ketamine resulting in death or bodily harm. Prosecutors described her home as a “drug emporium” that provided her with a luxurious lifestyle.

Matthew Perry, best known for his role as the hunchback Chandler Bing on the 1990s sitcom Friends, struggled with substance abuse for decades. He was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. Investigators confirmed the cause of death was the use of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects that should only be used under medical supervision.

Before Sangha was sentenced, Perry's stepmother, Debbie Perry, asked the court to impose the maximum sentence. "You caused this... You, who have a talent for business, chose a path that harms people," she said in a statement to the court.

Federal authorities found dozens of doses of ketamine and thousands of other drug pills, including methamphetamine, cocaine and Xanax, in Sangha's home. She had been supplying ketamine from a "spare house" in North Hollywood since 2019. Sangha also admitted to selling ketamine in 2019 to another person, who died hours later of an overdose.

Sangha is one of five people who U.S. authorities say supplied Perry with ketamine, taking advantage of his addiction. Others, including doctors and the actor's assistant, have pleaded guilty or been convicted. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who gave Perry ketamine in the weeks before his death, was sentenced to 30 months in prison, while Dr. Mark Chavez was sentenced to eight months of house arrest and three years of supervised release.

Perry's day-to-day assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and another person who sold the drugs, Eric Fleming, are expected to be sentenced in the coming months.

This case has attracted widespread attention, highlighting the dangers of drug distribution and the tragic impact of substance addiction on celebrities and their families.
