'Ketamine Queen' Jasveen Sangha Who 'Sold Fatal Drugs' to Matthew Perry Blamed For Second Man's Death
Aug. 25 2024, Published 5:45 p.m. ET
Jasveen Sangha, known as Matthew Perry's "Ketamine Queen", is accused of supplying drugs that led to the death of a second alleged victim.
The fatal overdoses of Cody McLaury in 2019 and Matthew Perry in 2023 were both linked to Sangha and have sparked outrage from McLaury's sister, Kimberly McLaury.
US-British national Sangha, 41, is charged in connection with the drug-related deaths and could face life behind bars.
Kimberly expressed her grief and accused Sangha of her brother's death, stating: "She is responsible for my brother Cody's death."
The mourning sister emphasized the impact of drug abuse, mentioning: "Like every drug dealer, she took advantage of vulnerable people... I do believe that if he did not have access to ketamine on that day, he wouldn't have died."
Cody died within a day of allegedly buying drugs from Sangha in Los Angeles in 2019.
His distraught sister texted Sangha, telling her: "The ketamine you sold my brother killed him. It's listed as the cause of death."
According to court documents, days after the text, the Ketamine Queen googled: "Can ketamine be listed as a cause of death?"
One of the charges she faces reads: "On or about August 26, 2019, she knowingly and intentionally distributed, and willfully caused to distribute ketamine."
Sangha, operating from her North Hollywood apartment, allegedly supplied ketamine and other drugs to high-profile clients like Perry.
Prosecutors have dubbed her flat the "Sangha Stash House" after a police search found hauls of pills, crystal meth, coke, Xanax tranquilizer tablets and a handgun.
A former federal prosecutor said Hollywood celebs should be "quaking in their boots" as Sangha faces further questioning — with the prospect of her telling all in return for less jail time.

Despite the weight of the charges against her, Sangha maintains her innocence, pleading not guilty to the accusations. However, her bail has been revoked, and she currently remains behind bars, awaiting further legal proceedings.
Dr. Mark Chavez, 54, another individual implicated in Matthew's death, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute ketamine. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, 42, on the other hand, is contending charges of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, multiple counts of ketamine distribution, and allegations of tampering with evidence during the investigation into Perry's death.
The Friends actor's longtime personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 59, and Erik Fleming, 54, were also arrested and charged in connection with Perry's death.
