The tragic death of Friends star Matthew Perry has taken a shocking turn as new revelations point to a shadowy figure at the center of a dangerous drug ring. Jasveen Sangha, known as the ‘Ketamine Queen,’ has been identified as a key suspect in the investigation, accused of providing the lethal dose of ketamine that contributed to Perry’s untimely demise.
Perry, who was found dead at his rental property in October last year, had long struggled with substance abuse. On August 15, the Department of Justice announced major developments in the case, revealing that five individuals, including two licensed doctors and Perry’s longtime assistant, have been charged. Among them, Sangha has emerged as a central figure, allegedly exploiting Perry’s vulnerability for profit. Prosecutors have described the case as involving a “broad underground criminal network” that preyed on the actor’s struggles.
At a press conference on Thursday, the Department of Justice detailed how Sangha, 41, sold Perry significant quantities of ketamine over a two-week period in October 2023, including approximately 50 vials for around $11,000. This sale allegedly led to the overdose that ended the beloved actor’s life.
Sangha, a dual citizen with a history of drug-related offenses, has been dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” due to her extensive involvement in the illegal drug trade. She is now one of the two primary suspects in the case. Reports indicate that Sangha continued her drug-dealing operations even after being implicated in two previous fatal overdoses, one of which occurred in 2019.
Following Perry’s death, authorities raided Sangha’s lavish residence, uncovering a staggering quantity of drugs. The inventory included 80 vials of ketamine, thousands of methamphetamine pills, cocaine, bottles of Xanax, and other illegally obtained prescription drugs, painting a grim picture of her involvement in a high-level drug operation.
These disturbing new details have left fans and the entertainment industry reeling, as the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death reveals a dark web of exploitation and crime.
