Jasveen Sangha, the Los Angeles drug dealer nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen,” was sentenced to 15 years in prison today by a California court for selling drugs that caused the death of Hollywood star Matthew Perry from the TV series “Friends.”
Matthew Perry, who rose to fame through the American sitcom “Friends,” struggled with substance addiction for much of his life. Prior to his death, colleagues in the entertainment industry believed he was overcoming his addiction. On October 28, 2023, Perry was found face down in the bathtub of his Los Angeles home by a live-in personal assistant, showing no signs of life. He was 54 years old.
Investigators determined that Perry’s death was caused by acute effects of ketamine. Sangha was one of five defendants accused of being responsible for his death.
The 42-year-old Sangha, who holds both U.S. and U.K. citizenships, operated an illegal drug “stash house” at her home. She was charged with five serious drug-related offenses related to Perry’s death and pleaded guilty in September 2025.
