Celebrity Drug Dealer Admits Guilt

Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the “Ketamine Queen,” agreed to plead guilty to five federal charges related to Matthew Perry’s October 2023 overdose death. The 54-year-old actor, famous for his role as Chandler Bing on “Friends,” died after receiving massive quantities of ketamine that Sangha supplied through intermediaries. This plea deal makes Sangha the fifth and final defendant to avoid trial, demonstrating how federal prosecutors systematically dismantled the entire supply network.

Perry’s death occurred at his Pacific Palisades home after days of excessive ketamine use. Between October 24-27, 2023, Perry injected ketamine six to eight times daily, far exceeding any medical recommendation. His assistant delivered 50 vials total, including 25 vials on October 14 and another 25 on October 24, just days before Perry’s fatal overdose on October 28.

Pattern of Deadly Distribution

Sangha’s criminal enterprise extended beyond Perry’s case, revealing a disturbing pattern of lethal drug dealing. She previously admitted to selling ketamine that caused another overdose death in 2019 when Cody McLaury died from her supply. This establishes Sangha as a repeat offender whose illegal activities directly resulted in multiple deaths, underscoring the serious public safety threat posed by unregulated drug suppliers targeting vulnerable individuals seeking relief from mental health issues.

The federal investigation revealed how Perry circumvented medical supervision after his doctor appropriately limited ketamine access for depression treatment. Rather than accepting medical guidance, Perry sought illegal suppliers through intermediaries, highlighting the dangerous mindset that wealth and celebrity status can override medical expertise and legal boundaries. This case demonstrates how Hollywood’s permissive drug culture enables deadly choices.

Justice System Sends Strong Message

Federal prosecutors secured plea agreements from all five defendants, including Perry’s assistant and other intermediaries who facilitated the illegal drug transactions. Sangha faces up to 45 years in prison for distribution resulting in death, sending a clear message that supplying illegal substances carries severe consequences regardless of the buyer’s celebrity status. This comprehensive prosecution approach targets the entire supply chain rather than just end users.

The case establishes important legal precedent for holding drug suppliers accountable for overdose deaths, particularly when targeting celebrities with addiction vulnerabilities. This outcome should deter other illegal suppliers who exploit individuals struggling with mental health issues by providing dangerous substances outside medical supervision. The prosecution’s success demonstrates that federal authorities will pursue maximum penalties against those who profit from others’ desperation and addiction.
