Los Angeles (AP), a woman known as the Queen of Ketamine, accused of selling Matthew Perry Drugs who killed him, agreed to plead guilty on Monday.
Jasveen Sangha becomes the fifth and final defendant accused of the death of an overdose of the Friends star to reach an agreement on a legal basis with federal prosecutors, avoiding a lawsuit that was scheduled for September.
She agreed to plead guilty by five federal criminal charges, including the provision of Ketamine that led to Perry’s death, a statement from federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors had thrown Sangha, a 42-year-old US and the United Kingdom, as a fruitful drug dealer who was known to his clients as “Queen of Ketamine”, using the term often in press reports and court documents and even included it in the official name of the case.
She agreed to plead guilty by one census for maintaining drugs related to drugs, three accusations for the distribution of ketamine and one number of ketamine distribution, leading to death or serious bodily harm.
She acknowledged in the agreement to sell four vials of Ketamine to another man, Cody McLari, hours before she died of overdose in 2019. McLari had no connection with Perry.
Prosecutors will reject three other cetamine distribution and one distribution of methamphetamine, which is not related to the case of Perry.
Sangha will officially change its request to guilty during an upcoming hearing, where the sentence will be scheduled, prosecutors said. She could get up to 45 years in prison. An email sent to Sangha’s lawyers looking for a comment did not reply immediately.
She and Dr. Salvador Plasenia, who signed their own legal basis on June 16, were the main goals of the investigation. Three other defendants – Dr. Mark Chavez, Kenneth Yamasa and Eric Fleming – have agreed to plead guilty last year in exchange for their cooperation, which includes statements that suggest Sangha and Plasecia.
Perry was found dead in his home in Los Angeles by Yamasa, his assistant, on October 28, 2023, a medical examination remained that ketamine, which was usually used as a surgical anesthetic, was the main cause of death.
The actor has used the medicine through his regular doctor as a legal, but outside the label, the treatment of depression, which is becoming more and more. The 54 -year -old Perry sought more ketamine than his doctor would give him. He began to receive it from Plasenia about a month before his death, after which he began to get even more than Sangha about two weeks before his death, prosecutors said.
Perry and Yamasa found Sangha through Per -Fleming’s friend. In their legal basis, both men described in detail the subsequent transactions.
Fleming was sending Yamasa, saying that Sangha’s ketamine was “unmarked, but it’s incredible,” according to court documents. Fleming sent a message to Iwamas that she was only involved in “high -end and celebrities. If it wasn’t great things, she would have lost her business.”
With the two men acting as intermediaries, Perry bought large quantities of ketamine from sangha, including $ 25 vials for $ 6,000 in four days before his death. This purchase included the doses that killed Perry, prosecutors said.
On the day of Perry Sangha’s death, he told Fleming that they should delete all the messages they sent, according to her accusation.
Her home in northern Hollywood, California, was attacked in March 2024 by agents for drug administration who have discovered large amounts of methamphetamines and ketamine, according to an agent’s statement. She was accused of June, arrested in August and has been in prison ever since.
None of the defendants has yet been convicted.
Perry has been fighting addiction for years, dating back to “friends” when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation like Chandler Bing. He participated with Jennifer Aniston, Corteni Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Leblan and David Schwimer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 in the NBC Megahit series.
