‘Ketamine Queen’ Jasveen Sangha Sentenced to 15 Years in Matthew Perry’s Death

The ruling underscores a federal push to hold illicit suppliers accountable in a chain that diverted a medical anesthetic into illegal doses.

Overview

  • Sangha, 42, received 15 years in prison and three years of supervised release Wednesday from U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett.
  • Sangha pleaded guilty to five federal counts, including distributing ketamine resulting in death, and her plea acknowledged causing Perry’s death.
  • Prosecutors said she ran a North Hollywood stash house that catered to high‑end clients and kept selling even after learning of a 2019 overdose tied to her supply.
  • Two doctors in the case have already been sentenced, while Perry’s assistant and a middleman who also pleaded guilty are due for sentencing later this month.
  • Family members described ongoing grief in court, and Sangha apologized, calling her actions horrible decisions that shattered lives.
