Overview
- A California judge gave Jasveen Sangha 15 years on Wednesday, April 8, after her guilty plea to distributing ketamine that led to Matthew Perry’s death.
- Prosecutors say she sold the actor dozens of doses in 2023, and a search of her home turned up 80 ketamine vials plus meth and cocaine.
- Two physicians in the supply chain were punished in December 2025, with Dr. Salvador Plasencia sent to prison for 30 months and Dr. Mark Chavez confined at home for eight months with community service.
- Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, and intermediary, Erik Fleming, have pleaded guilty and are due for sentencing by the end of April.
- Ketamine is a legal anesthetic used in some depression treatments, yet investigators say Perry’s relapse showed how clinical drugs can be diverted and misused with deadly results.
