Jasveen Sangha, 42, known as the Ketamine Queen, has pleaded guilty to charges related to the overdose death of actor Matthew Perry.
The plea was entered on Wednesday, September 3, 2025, in US District Court in Los Angeles.
Sangha admitted to distributing ketamine that contributed to Perry’s death on October 28, 2023, when he was found in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home.
Federal prosecutors described her Los Angeles residence as a “drug-selling emporium,” where authorities discovered dozens of vials of ketamine along with other controlled substances.
The American-British dual national pleaded guilty to five charges, including distributing ketamine resulting in death or bodily injury.
She initially faced nine counts. Sangha is one of five people alleged to have supplied ketamine to Perry, including two doctors, his live-in assistant, and another individual who obtained the drug from Sangha.
Sangha also admitted to selling ketamine to another individual, Cody McLaury, in August 2019, who died hours after the purchase.
Authorities allege she supplied ketamine to high-end clients and celebrities from her North Hollywood “stash house” since at least 2019.
Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic with hallucinogenic effects, which can be dangerous if misused. The drug is meant to be administered under medical supervision.
Sangha faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in federal prison, with a sentencing hearing scheduled for December 10, 2025.
The case has shed light on a broader network of ketamine distribution within Hollywood, highlighting the risks and exploitation surrounding the drug.
Sangha’s social media showcased her extravagant lifestyle, including trips abroad and appearances at high-profile events such as the Golden Globes and Oscars.
