Ketamine Queen Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Matthew Perry’s Death

Jasveen Sangha, known as the Ketamine Queen, was sentenced to 15 years in prison today, per the New York Times. She pleaded guilty in August 2025 to five charges regarding her involvement in Friends actor Matthew Perry’s October 2023 death. The charges were one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. Prosecutors said in their documents that she was known to customers as the Ketamine Queen. When authorities raided her apartment, they found cocaine, 79 vials of ketamine, and three pounds of methamphetamine pills.

In her August 2025 guilty plea, the Justice Department claimed that Sangha and Erik Fleming sold the Friends actor 51 vials of ketamine. They gave them to Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected three of them in Perry, who died. Both Fleming and Iwamasa are scheduled for sentencing later this month. Sangha is the only one whose plea deal said she caused Perry’s death. At the time of her plea, Sangha’s lawyer said, “She’s taking responsibility for her actions.”
