The so-called «Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles» has been charged with providing the doses that caused the overdose deaths of Matthew Perry and another man.
The so-called “Ketamine Queen of Los Angeles” has been charged with providing the ketamine that caused the overdose deaths of Matthew Perry and another man, according to the feds.
Jasveen Sangha, 41, earned herself the notorious nickname for allegedly selling ketamine and meth out of her North Hollywood “stash house” going back to as early as June 14, 2019, according to a California federal indictment made public Thursday.
Sangha continued to peddle the dangerous drugs until she was busted on March 19 for selling meth in a prior unrelated case. She had been out on $100,000 bond since March, court records show.
The drug queen used her North Hollywood home to “store, package, and distribute narcotics, including providing ketamine to co-conspirator [Erik] Fleming so that co-conspirator Fleming could sell it to Victim M.P.,” the indictment said, referring to Matthew Perry.
During the March raid on Sangha’s home, the feds seized 79 bottles of liquid ketamine and close to 2,000 meth pills, the New York Times first reported, citing court documents.
Now, Sangha has been charged alongside Dr. Salvador “Dr. P.” Plasencia, Dr. Mark Chavez, Perry’s personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, and Perry acquaintance Fleming after the “Friends” actor was found floating face down in a hot tub in his Pacific Palisades home on Oct. 28 in a death attributed to overdosing on the powerful anesthetic.
Fleming, 54, Iwamasa, 59, and Chavez, 54, have all taken plea deals.
Sangha is also charged in the new indictment for her role in the August 2019 ketamine overdose death of Cody McLaury, an Alaskan native living in California who was a member of the LGBTQ community, according to his obituary.
In Perry’s death, Sangha allegedly provided Fleming with 50 vials of the drug in two separate deals in October that he ultimately gave to Perry.
