‘Ketamine Queen’ to plead guilty to selling drugs

A woman dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” has agreed to plead guilty of selling the drugs that ultimately killed Friends actor Matthew Perry.

Jasveen Sangha, 42, will plead guilty to five charges, including one count of distributing ketamine resulting in death or bodily injury, according to the Justice Department.

The American-British dual-national originally faced nine criminal counts. Federal prosecutors called her Los Angeles home a “drug-selling emporium” and found dozens of vials of ketamine during a raid.

Perry was found dead in a back yard jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home in October 2023, with an examination finding it was due to the acute effects of ketamine.

Sangha is one of five people – including medical doctors – who US officials say supplied ketamine to Perry, exploiting his drug addiction for profit, and leading to his overdose death.

Ketamine is a dissociative anaesthetic that has some hallucinogenic effects, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It can distort perception of sight and sound and makes the user feel disconnected and not in control.
