Jasveen Sangha, recently thrust into the public spotlight due to her connection to the death of “Friends” star Matthew Perry, has been dubbed the “Ketamine Queen.” Sangha is reportedly part of a criminal network that supplied Perry with ketamine, which led to his fatal overdose in October 2023.
Prior to this high-profile case, Sangha was not widely known despite her alleged involvement in illegal activities.Reports have linked her to the 2019 overdose death of Cody McLaury, a 33-year-old Alaskan man who had lived in Los Angeles. McLaury’s death, caused by a lethal combination of ketamine, heroin, methamphetamine, and cocaine, remained largely out of public awareness until now.
The nickname “Ketamine Queen” was reportedly given to Sangha by detectives and investigators working on the Matthew Perry case. Sangha is believed to have played a key role in a large underground drug distribution network specializing in ketamine.
According to law enforcement officials, on October 28, 2023, the day Perry died, his live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa injected him with ketamine, as he had done several times before, without possessing the proper medical licensure to perform such injections.
Sangha was arrested in March in connection with a separate federal drug case but was released from custody after posting a $100,000 bond, according to court records. Her alleged involvement in the distribution network and the circumstances surrounding Perry’s death are currently under investigation.
