All Five Defendants Plead Guilty in Matthew Perry Ketamine Overdose Case

Jasveen Sangha, known as the 'Ketamine Queen,' has pleaded guilty to federal charges related to the supply of ketamine that contributed to actor Matthew Perry's fatal overdose in 2023. Sangha admitted to running a sophisticated drug-trafficking operation from her North Hollywood home, supplying ketamine to Perry and other clients since at least 2019, and faces up to 65 years in prison. Prosecutors described her residence as a 'drug-selling emporium' where authorities seized a large quantity of drugs and drug paraphernalia during a 2024 raid. Sangha worked with co-conspirators, including Perry's personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected Perry multiple times daily with ketamine before his death. The case highlights the exploitation of addiction for profit within Hollywood and raises concerns about illegal drug networks infiltrating treatment for depression and addiction. All five individuals charged in connection with Perry's overdose have now pleaded guilty, closing a significant chapter in the investigation of the actor's tragic death.
