Jasveen Sangha, known as the ‘Ketamine Queen’, will appear in a Los Angeles court in California (USA) on Wednesday to receive her sentence as the main defendant in the death of‘Friends‘ star Matthew Perry in October 2023.
The ‘ketamine queen’ faces a maximum sentence of twenty years imprisonment for the charge of storing drugs in her home, up to ten years imprisonment for each count of distribution of ketamine, and up to fifteen years imprisonment for distribution of ketamine resulting in death.
In a plea agreement with Los Angeles authorities, Sangha, 42, pleaded guilty on Aug. 18 to five counts of distributing the drug that killed the American actor on Oct. 28, 2023: three counts of distribution of ketamine, one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury and one count of storing and packaging drugs at his Los Angeles home.
The sentence against Sangha will be the second for the five defendants in the death of the ‘Friends’ star, following the 30-month prison sentence imposed on Salvador Plasencia, the doctor who pleaded guilty to providing Perry with ketamine.
Authorities said that Perry obtained the ketamine that ended his life from Sangha, that the syringe was provided by Plasencia and that Kenneth Iwamasa, as a personal assistant, injected the drug into the actor on the day of his death, October 28, 2023, while the other two defendants, Mark Chavez and Erik Fleming, were part of the scheme.
In their indictment, federal prosecutors claimed that the five people involved took advantage of Perry’s addiction problems to profit financially from the ‘Friends’ star.
The performer, celebrated for his Chandler Bing character, had spoken publicly about his struggle with addictions in his memoir ‘Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir’ (2022), reported Agencia EFE.
