Jasveen Sangha, a 41-year-old dual British and American citizen, has been under the scrutiny of federal authorities for her involvement in the distribution of dangerous narcotics.
Among the five people charged in actor Matthew Perry’s death due to a drug overdose last year is Jasveen Sangha, known as “the Ketamine Queen.” Investigators allege that Ms. Sangha provided the lethal dose of ketamine that led to Mr. Perry’s death.
Dubbed the “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles,” Ms. Sangha reportedly ran a drug operation from her North Hollywood home, where officials claim she stored, packaged, and distributed various narcotics. A federal indictment described her residence as a “drug-selling emporium” filled with methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription drugs like Xanax.
Ms. Sangha’s operation, which dates back to at least June 2019, came under scrutiny after her arrest in March for selling methamphetamine in an unrelated case. During a raid on her home, federal agents seized 79 bottles of liquid ketamine and nearly 2,000 meth pills, highlighting the scale of her illicit activities.
Matthew Perry died on October 28 last year. The ‘Friends’ actor, who had long battled addiction, was found in his home, with his death attributed to a ketamine overdose. Investigators found that Mr. Perry obtained the fatal batch of ketamine through a broker, Eric Fleming, who sourced the drug from Ms. Sangha.
Court documents reveal that Ms. Sangha provided Mr. Fleming with 50 vials of ketamine in two separate deals in the weeks leading up to Mr. Perry’s death. The indictment alleges that Mr. Perry first sampled the drug on October 13, and Mr. Fleming delivered two large batches to Mr. Perry’s home on October 14 and October 24. Ms. Sangha even included “ketamine lollipops” as a bonus due to the size of Mr. Perry’s order.
