A Glaring Admission Amidst Tragedy

In a harrowing turn of events, the woman dubbed the "Ketamine Queen" has pleaded guilty to multiple charges linked to the overdose death of beloved actor Matthew Perry. Jasveen Sangha, 42, admitted her involvement in a federal court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, facing grave charges that could land her behind bars for a staggering 65 years.

Details of the Charges Becomes Public

Sangha’s guilty plea includes one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises and three counts of distribution of ketamine, culminating in a charge that the drug resulted in serious bodily injury or death. As a dual citizen of the U.S. and U.K., she has been in federal custody since August 2024 and is scheduled for sentencing on December 10.

A Legacy Cut Short

Matthew Perry, famed for his role as Chandler Bing on the iconic sitcom "Friends," was discovered unresponsive in his swimming pool on October 28, 2023. At just 54 years old, Perry's death was ruled an accidental overdose of ketamine, a powerful hallucinogenic anesthetic increasingly misused as an unregulated treatment for mental health issues.

Perry's Battle with Addiction

Known for candidly discussing his struggles with addiction in his memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing," Perry had been undergoing ketamine infusion therapy for depression and anxiety. However, he increasingly sought unsupervised use, developing a dependency that spiraled into a tragic climax.

The Shocking Details Unfold

Prosecutors revealed that Sangha paired with Erik Fleming to provide Perry with ketamine. Just weeks before Perry's untimely passing, the duo allegedly sold him 51 vials, which were administered by his live-in personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. In a chilling sequence of events, Iwamasa reportedly injected Perry with ketamine multiple times on the very day he died.

Concealing the Truth?

After Perry's death made headlines, Sangha reportedly contacted Fleming via the encrypted messaging app Signal, instructing him to "delete all our messages," which raises questions about the intent behind their actions.

The Legal Ripple Effect

Fleming has already pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and distribution of ketamine resulting in death, while Iwamasa also admitted guilt in similar charges this past August. The legal repercussions from this tragedy are far-reaching, serving as a sobering reminder of the dangers of addiction and the fatal consequences of drug misuse.
