Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen", has pleaded guilty to five federal charges, including supplying the ketamine that resulted in the death of actor Matthew Perry. Perry, famed for his role in the television series Friends, was found dead in his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023.

Sangha's guilty plea was entered in a federal court in Los Angeles, where she admitted to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. This plea comes as part of a deal she signed on August 18, which led to the dropping of three additional counts related to ketamine distribution and one count of methamphetamine distribution unrelated to Perry's case.

The 42-year-old dual citizen of the US and the UK was described by prosecutors as a prolific drug dealer. They frequently referred to her as the "Ketamine Queen" in court documents and press releases. Sangha is the fifth and final defendant to plead guilty in connection with Perry's overdose, following others who have cooperated with the investigation.

Sangha's trial was set to begin later this month, but her plea agreement has expedited the process. She faces a potential sentence of up to 65 years in prison, although prosecutors have indicated they will seek a lesser sentence. A judge will determine the final sentencing date.

Perry had been using ketamine as a treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Prosecutors revealed that he sought more of the drug than his doctor would prescribe, leading him to Sangha through a friend. Just days before his death, Perry purchased 25 vials of ketamine for $6,000 in cash.

On the day of his death, Sangha allegedly suggested deleting messages exchanged with Perry's assistant, raising suspicions about their dealings. Perry's struggles with addiction were well-documented, dating back to his time on Friends, where he became a household name alongside co-stars Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.

The investigation into Perry's death has highlighted the dangers associated with illicit drug distribution and the tragic consequences of addiction.
