Final Guilty Plea in Matthew Perry’s Death Case

0

A fifth and final person has pleaded guilty in connection to actor Matthew Perry’s death. Jasveen Sangha, widely known as the “Ketamine Queen,” entered a plea deal on Aug. 18, according to the Associated Press.

Charges and Possible Sentence

Sangha faces five federal charges:

  • Maintaining a drug-involved premises
  • Three counts of ketamine distribution
  • One count of ketamine distribution resulting in death or serious injury

Other charges against her were dropped. She could face up to 45 years in federal prison.

Role in Perry’s Death

The Justice Department reports that Sangha and Erik Fleming sold 51 vials of ketamine intended for Perry. The drugs were handed to Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, who injected the actor with “at least three shots.” Perry later died. Afterward, Sangha urged Fleming via Signal to “Delete all our messages.”

Wider Conspiracy

Sangha is the last of five people convicted in the case. Earlier this summer, Perry’s doctor, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, pleaded guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine. Others who admitted guilt include Iwamasa, Fleming, and Dr. Mark Chavez, who supplied Plasencia with ketamine for Perry.
