Overview
- Jasveen Sangha, 42, pleaded guilty to five federal counts, including distribution of ketamine resulting in death, and is scheduled to be sentenced on December 10 with a maximum exposure of 65 years in prison.
- Prosecutors say Sangha supplied 51 vials that reached Matthew Perry through intermediary Erik Fleming and assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, including a 25‑vial cash purchase four days before the actor’s death.
- Investigators allege Iwamasa injected Perry with ketamine multiple times, including at least three doses on the day he died, after the medical examiner found the primary cause was the acute effects of ketamine with other contributing factors.
- Authorities described Sangha’s North Hollywood residence as a long‑running stash house where dozens of ketamine vials and other drugs were seized, and court filings say she urged an associate to delete messages after learning of Perry’s death.
- Co‑defendants—doctors Mark Chavez and Salvador Plasencia, intermediary Fleming, and assistant Iwamasa—previously entered guilty pleas, and prosecutors have indicated they will seek less than the maximum sentence for Sangha.
