BREAKING: 'Ketamine Queen' Jasveen Sangha sentenced to 15 years in prison for Matthew Perry overdose death

A Los Angeles federal judge on Wednesday sentenced Jasveen Sangha to 15 years in prison for providing the drug that killed famous Hollywood actor Matthew Perry.

Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen," pleaded guilty last year to charges including one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. She has been held in custody since her August 2024 arrest, ABC News reported.

Perry, a star in the hit sitcom "Friends," was found dead from a drug overdose at his Los Angeles home in October 2023. He died at the age of 54.

Sangha, the first of five defendants to be sentenced, operated a "high-volume drug trafficking business out of her North Hollywood residence" from 2019 until her arrest, prosecutors said in a sentencing memorandum, which stated that she continued selling the "dangerous drugs" after learning about Perry's death. This included ketamine and methamphetamine, which Sangha stored, packaged, and distributed from her home.

Court filings state that Sangha showed little remorse for her actions, as detailed in recorded jail communications, where she discussed wanting to obtain "trademarks" and "securing book rights on the events of the case." Prosecutors asked the judge to impose a significant jail sentence.

"She didn't care and kept selling," prosecutors told the Court. "Defendant's actions show a cold callousness and disregard for life. She chose profits over people, and her actions have caused immense pain to the victims' families and loved ones," adding that Sangha "had the opportunity to stop after realizing the impact of her dealing - but simply chose not to."

Sangha's drug supply also resulted in the 2019 death of Los Angeles resident Cody McLaury, who died just hours after Sangha sold him several vials of ketamine, prosecutors said.
