Jasveen Sangha, reportedly known as the Ketamine Queen, has recently come into public view due to her connection to the death of “Friends” star Matthew Perry. 

Sangha was allegedly part of a criminal network that supplied Perry with ketamine, which led to his fatal overdose in October 2023. 

Before this case, Sangha was not widely known, despite her alleged involvement in criminal activities.

Who is Jasveen Sangha?

Jasveen Sangha’s illegal activities stretch back further than her alleged involvement in Matthew Perry’s death. 

According to published reports, Sangha is also linked to the 2019 overdose death of Cody McLaury, a 33-year-old Alaskan man who had lived in Los Angeles.

His death, caused by a lethal mix of ketamine, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine, also remained out of the public eye until now.

Why is she called the Ketamine Queen?

Jasveen Sangha was labeled the "Ketamine Queen" by detectives and investigators working the Matthew Perry case.

What was the Ketamine Queen's alleged role in the death of Matthew Perry?

Sangha allegedly had a key role in an extensive underground drug distribution network that specialized in supplying ketamine.

Law enforcement officials said that on Oct. 28, 2023, the day that Perry died, his live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa injected Perry with ketamine, as he did several times before, without proper medical licensure to complete the injections.

The ketamine used in Perry's death was done with instructions and syringes provided by Salvador Plasencia with the ketamine itself was sold by Eric Fleming and Sangha, officials allege.
