Overview

  • Jasveen Sangha will plead guilty to five federal counts, including distributing ketamine resulting in death, under a deal filed in Los Angeles federal court.
  • Prosecutors say she supplied large quantities to Matthew Perry through intermediaries, including a 25‑vial, $6,000 purchase four days before he was found dead.
  • The medical examiner determined Perry died from the acute effects of ketamine, and Sangha faces a statutory maximum sentence of up to 45 years.
  • Two physicians, Perry’s assistant and a friend had already pleaded guilty and cooperated with investigators, leaving sentencing outstanding for all defendants.
  • Prosecutors cite a DEA raid that seized ketamine and other drugs and say Sangha sought to delete Signal messages after Perry’s death; she also admitted a 2019 ketamine sale preceding another overdose.
