It has been reported that Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen,” is facing charges related to Matthew Perry’s tragic death.
Los Angeles – Federal prosecutors charged a 41-year-old woman, Jasveen Sangha, of dual British and American citizenship, in relation to the death of the beloved actor Matthew Perry.
Sangha had been flying under the radar but is now widely being referred to as the “Ketamine Queen,” a nickname reflective of her alleged involvement in a deadly drug operation.
Sangha’s name cropped up in a list of five people involved in Perry’s overdose death on October 28 last year. The actor and star of sitcom “Friends”—in which he played lovable jaded character Chandler Bing—died following an overdose of ketamine, a substance he had allegedly obtained from a very sophisticated and illegal supply chain the authorities trace back to Sangha.
According to the investigators, Sangha was operating a state-of-the-art drug enterprise from her North Hollywood home. As described in a federal indictment, her residence was known as a “drug-selling emporium,” fully equipped with various unsafe narcotics such as methamphetamine, cocaine, and prescription medications like Xanax.
Suggested: What is ketamine, the drug implicated in Matthew Perry’s death?
Sangha has been charged by authorities with being heavily involved in the illegal drug trade through the selling of unsafe substances around Los Angeles for several years.
The operation seemingly drew the interest of federal agents as far back as June 2019, but it was a different bust in March of this year that revealed Sangha’s activities. During that raid, 79 bottles of liquid ketamine and close to 2,000 meth pills were seized from her home, offering a view into the magnitude of her operation.
Details of Matthew Perry’s final days are a tragic portrayal.
According to court documents, Perry got the ketamine from Sangha through a broker named Eric Fleming.
Weeks before his death, Fleming purchased 50 vials of ketamine from Sangha in two separate transactions.
It is reported that Perry sampled the drug on 13 October, with Fleming making two large batches delivered to the actor’s home on both 14 and 24 October.
In a grim twist, Sangha is said to have thrown in “ketamine lollipops” as a bonus, a chilling addition in light of the fatal outcome.
Perry’s addiction was very public, and his shocking death puts a focus on the dangers of illegal drugs.
As criminal justice unfolds in this case, charges against Jasveen Sangha could hardly stand as any more pointed about the deadliness of the drug trade.
The case reveals how law enforcement continues to struggle in fighting dangerous drug distribution.
