Jasveen Sangha, a 42-year-old Los Angeles woman nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen,” has pleaded guilty to supplying the dose of ketamine that caused Friends star Matthew Perry’s death in October 2023.

Sangha entered her plea on Wednesday to five federal charges, including distribution of ketamine resulting in death. Her trial had been scheduled for later this month but was avoided through a plea deal. She is the fifth and final defendant charged in the case to admit guilt.

In court, Sangha admitted providing ketamine to co-defendant Erik Fleming but claimed she could not say “100 percent” whether all of the drugs were intended for Perry. The admission did not alter her agreement with prosecutors.

Perry’s mother, Suzanne Perry, and his stepfather, Dateline reporter Keith Morrison, were present in court as she entered her plea.

Under the deal, Sangha pleaded guilty to:

  • One count of maintaining a drug-involved premises

  • Three counts of ketamine distribution

  • One count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death

In exchange, prosecutors dropped three additional ketamine charges and one unrelated methamphetamine count. Sangha is scheduled for sentencing on December 10, and faces a lengthy prison term.

Perry, 54, was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 29, 2023. Months later, the coroner ruled his death was caused by the “acute effects of ketamine.”

Investigators revealed that while Perry had been prescribed ketamine legally for depression treatment, he was also sourcing large, illicit quantities from Sangha through Fleming. Just four days before his death, Perry purchased 25 vials for $6,000 in cash.

On the day he died, Sangha allegedly urged Fleming to delete all of their messages, according to her indictment.

Other defendants in the case — Dr. Salvador Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Iwamasa, and Erik Fleming — previously pleaded guilty and cooperated with prosecutors, providing evidence against Sangha.
