Drug Dealer’s Confession in the Case of Matthew Perry's Death

According to The Sun: A notorious drug dealer known as the 'Queen of Ketamine' has pleaded guilty to selling drugs to actor Matthew Perry, which led to his death.

Jasveen Sangha, 42, pleaded guilty to five federal charges on Wednesday, including distributing ketamine that caused the fatal overdose of the beloved 'Friends' actor in 2023.

The drug dealer, who has been in custody since August 2024, could face up to 65 years in prison. Her sentencing is scheduled for December.

Sangha became the fifth and final suspect to plead guilty in the case of Perry's fatal overdose.

The actor, known for his role as Chandler Bing on the popular show 'Friends', was found dead by the pool at his home in Los Angeles in October 2023 at the age of just 54.

Last month, Sangha struck a deal with prosecutors, unexpectedly changing her position after long insisting on her innocence following her arrest.

Sangha agreed to plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises and three counts of distributing ketamine, including one that led to Perry's death.

In exchange, prosecutors dropped three other charges related to distributing ketamine, as well as one allegation related to methamphetamine that was not connected to the actor's death.

Perry died from acute effects of ketamine and drowning, according to the results of his autopsy.

Sangha and broker Eric Fleming sold Perry approximately 51 vials of ketamine in the month of his death, prosecutors noted.

Fleming introduced Perry to Sangha about two weeks before his death and informed his personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, that Sangha's ketamine was 'amazing' and that her clients were 'only high-class people and stars.'

This pair handed drugs to Iwamasa, who acknowledged that he administered ketamine to Perry at least three times on the day of his death.

It's known that Perry, in his last message, asked Iwamasa to 'inject him properly.'

Following the news of Perry's death, Sangha contacted Fleming via encrypted messenger Signal and asked to 'delete all our messages.'

Sangha, a resident of the US and the UK, was known as the 'Queen of Ketamine', selling drugs to wealthy clients and showcasing a lavish lifestyle on Instagram, posting pictures of parties with stars and luxurious vacations.

When police searched her home in March 2023, they discovered a 'drug emporium', including 79 doses of ketamine, 1,978 grams of methamphetamine, as well as a large quantity of cocaine and Xanax.

All five individuals accused in Perry's death case eventually pleaded guilty following charges filed in August 2024.

Sangha and doctor Salvador Plasencia were the last two of the five to admit their crimes.

Plasencia, who mocked Perry by calling him 'a fool', pleaded guilty in July.

The other three defendants — doctor Mark Chavez, Iwamasa, and Fleming — also pleaded guilty and provided testimony implicating Sangha and Plasencia.

No defendants have been sentenced yet, and Sangha's sentencing hearing is scheduled for December 10.
