Jasveen Sangha Pleads Guilty in Federal Case Tied to Matthew Perry’s Ketamine Death

Sentencing on December 10 follows a probe into an alleged illicit ketamine network.

Overview

  • Sangha, 42, admitted in Los Angeles federal court to five counts, including distributing ketamine resulting in death and maintaining a drug premises.
  • The Justice Department says the charges carry a theoretical maximum of about 65 years in federal prison, and she remains in custody pending sentencing.
  • As part of her plea, Sangha acknowledged selling ketamine in 2019 to Cody McLaury, who died hours later of a drug overdose.
  • The Los Angeles County medical examiner concluded Matthew Perry died from acute ketamine effects and drowning in October 2023.
  • Prosecutors say Sangha operated from a North Hollywood stash house where dozens of ketamine vials were seized, and co-defendants Salvador Plasencia, Mark Chávez, Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming have already pleaded guilty.
