"Ketamine Queen" sentenced to 15 years in prison in connection with Matthew Perry's death

Key Points:

• Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the "Ketamine Queen," was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for her role in distributing ketamine linked to the 2023 death of actor Matthew Perry, after pleading guilty to multiple federal drug charges.
• Sangha admitted to supplying the ketamine that caused Perry's death and instructed accomplices to delete incriminating evidence; prosecutors highlighted her operation of a high-volume drug trafficking business catering to Hollywood clients.
• Perry died from acute ketamine effects, with additional factors including drowning and heart disease; his death was ruled accidental.
• Two other individuals connected to the case, former physician Salvador Plasencia and doctor Mark Chavez, have been sentenced for illegal ketamine distribution, while sentencing hearings for Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and middleman Erik Fleming are scheduled for later this month.
• Iwamasa, who injected Perry with ketamine, faces up to 15 years in prison, and Fleming, involved in drug distribution, faces up to 25 years following their guilty pleas.
