Ketamine Supplier in Matthew Perry Case Gets 15 Years in Federal Prison

The sentence caps a federal push to hold suppliers in Perry's ketamine chain accountable.

Overview

  • A federal judge in Los Angeles sentenced Jasveen Sangha to 15 years in prison for supplying the ketamine tied to Matthew Perry's death.
  • Sangha pleaded guilty last year to five counts, including distributing ketamine that caused death or serious injury, after facing a maximum of 65 years.
  • Prosecutors said she ran a large drug operation from a North Hollywood home since at least 2019, and they cited jail calls to argue she showed little remorse.
  • In her plea, she admitted providing Perry with dozens of ketamine vials, including the dose linked to his October 2023 death, and selling ketamine in 2019 to Cody McLaury, who died hours later.
  • Related cases continue, with doctor Salvador Plasencia sentenced to 30 months, physician Mark Chavez on home confinement and supervised release, Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa awaiting sentencing, and middleman Eric Fleming due in June.
