Ketamine Queen” jailed over Matthew Perry’s death
Jasveen Sangha, a British-American drug dealer known as the “Ketamine Queen,” has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for supplying the ketamine that led to the death of Friends star Matthew Perry.
The sentencing, delivered in Los Angeles on 8 April 2026, marks one of the most significant developments in the high-profile case surrounding Perry’s fatal overdose in October 2023.
Who is Jasveen Sangha?
Sangha, 42, operated a large-scale drug trafficking operation from her home in North Hollywood, where she sold ketamine and other substances to wealthy clients, including celebrities.
Prosecutors described her as a dealer who knowingly prioritised profit over safety, continuing to distribute drugs even after becoming aware of fatal overdoses linked to her supply.
Role in Matthew Perry’s death
Matthew Perry, best known for his role as Chandler Bing, died aged 54 after taking a lethal amount of ketamine. While he had been undergoing medically supervised ketamine therapy, he had also begun obtaining the drug illegally in the weeks before his death.
Court documents revealed that Sangha:
• Supplied dozens of vials of ketamine in the lead-up to Perry’s death
• Provided the specific batch that caused the fatal overdose
• Worked with intermediaries, including Perry’s assistant, to distribute the drug
She later pleaded guilty to five federal charges, including distribution of ketamine resulting in death.
The sentence
A federal judge sentenced Sangha to 180 months (15 years) in prison, rejecting arguments for a lighter sentence despite her claims of rehabilitation and remorse.
In court, prosecutors highlighted her “callousness and greed,” pointing out that she continued dealing drugs even after learning her products had contributed to multiple deaths.
Sangha admitted her actions had “shattered people’s lives,” offering an apology to Perry’s family.
Wider case and fallout
Sangha was one of five individuals charged in connection with Perry’s death, including doctors and associates who helped obtain or administer the drug.
• Some medical professionals involved received significantly lighter sentences
• Others, including Perry’s assistant, are still awaiting sentencing
• Sangha is the only defendant to admit direct responsibility for supplying the fatal dose
Conclusion
The 15-year sentence handed to Jasveen Sangha closes a major chapter in the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death, highlighting the dangers of illicit drug supply chains—even among high-profile individuals.
The case has also raised broader questions about addiction, medical oversight, and accountability, with authorities signalling that those who profit from dangerous substances will face severe consequences.
