A Los Angeles woman dubbed the 'Ketamine Queen' has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for selling drugs that led to the death of Friends actor Matthew Perry. Jasveen Sangha, 42, pleaded guilty last September to five charges, including one count of distributing ketamine resulting in death or bodily injury. Prosecutors described the American-British dual-national's North Hollywood home as a 'drug-selling emporium' - selling a range of drugs to wealthy and well-connected clients. Perry, who had struggled with addiction for years, was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home in October 2023. Investigators determined his death was caused by the acute effects of ketamine. Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic known for its hallucinogenic effects and is supposed to be administered only by a physician. During the sentencing, Sangha sobbed as relatives of Perry addressed the court, stating she must answer for her crimes. The judge emphasized her lack of remorse over the years, leading to the final sentencing. Sangha expressed shame and remorse for her role in 'shattering people's lives'. Prior to the sentencing, Perry's stepmother requested the judge to impose the maximum sentence for the irreversible damage caused by Sangha's actions. Federal authorities found dozens of ketamine vials, alongside methamphetamine, cocaine, and Xanax pills at Sangha's residence, indicating a significant illegal operation. Sangha initially denied the charges but changed her plea weeks before her trial was set to begin. As part of her plea agreement, she acknowledged selling ketamine to Cody McLaury, who died from a drug overdose shortly after the purchase. Sangha faced up to 65 years in federal prison according to the justice department but was sentenced to a lesser term. Other individuals involved in supplying drugs to Perry are also facing legal repercussions.
