Jasveen Sangha, a 42-year-old dual British-American citizen known as the "Ketamine Queen," has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in supplying the drugs that led to the death of Canadian-American actor Matthew Perry in 2023. Sangha had pleaded guilty in September to five felony drug charges and has remained in custody since her arrest in August 2024.
Matthew Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing in the hit television series Friends, was found dead in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home in 2023. His death shocked fans worldwide and drew renewed attention to the actor’s long-standing struggles with substance and alcohol abuse. Despite his past battles with addiction, Perry had publicly stated that he had been sober in the months leading up to his death.
During the sentencing, Sangha appeared before US District Judge Sherilyn Garnett and expressed remorse for her actions. "I take full responsibility for my actions. These were horrible choices that ultimately proved tragic," she said, acknowledging the devastating consequences of her involvement in the case.
The court’s decision underscores the serious legal consequences associated with the illegal distribution of controlled substances, especially when those substances result in loss of life. Sangha’s 15-year sentence reflects the gravity of the offenses and serves as a cautionary example of the potential ramifications of supplying drugs that contribute to fatal overdoses.
The case has sparked discussions about the responsibilities of those involved in the drug trade, the ongoing risks of substance abuse, and the importance of support systems for individuals struggling with addiction. Perry’s death remains a stark reminder of the dangers posed by drug misuse, even among those who have publicly sought to maintain sobriety.
