Since the sad news of Matthew Perry‘s death broke in 2023, authorities have been tirelessly investigating the cause. On August 15, it was confirmed that there are several suspects…
One of the suspects is Jasveen Sangha, who has been accused of contributing to the actor’s death by allegedly selling him ketamine. The Friends star had a history of addiction and it was informed that he died of an overdose.
She is just one of the four people who have been arrested, as authorities have also apprehended Perry’s assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and two doctors, Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez.
Who is Jasveen Sangha?
Jasveen Sangha is known as the “Ketamine Queen“. Her house in North Hollywood was allegedly used to distribute ketamine and other drugs to high-profile clients, including some prominent celebrities.
Her home was one of her major exchange locations and was often referred to under the pseudonym “stash house”. On Thursday the 15th, she was linked to the overdose death of Matthew Perry.
Authorities investigating the beloved star’s death have accused her of supplying the ketamine that caused the incident in October 2023. Before her arrest, a raid was conducted at her home.
Not much is known about her, but she is a 41-year-old woman who resides in the San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police found a variety of items in her home and prosecutor Estrada described it as a “drug-selling emporium“.
The BBC reported that before she was taken into custody, she had Googled “Can ketamine be listed as a cause of death?“. Her social media accounts remain active, but she hasn’t posted anything on Instagram (@jasveen_s) for the past two days.
What did they find in relation to Jasveen Sangha?
Investigators, who worked on the case for three months, found a green diary detailing the amounts involved in the buying and selling of substances, transactions worth thousands of dollars and other shady dealings.
Additionally, they seized 79 capsules of liquid ketamine, nearly 2,000 methamphetamine pills, hallucinogenic mushrooms and other similar drugs. It appears that the latter were obtained fraudulently, as they require a prescription.
“The investigation revealed an extensive clandestine criminal network to distribute large quantities of ketamine to Mr. Perry and others“, prosecutor Estrada explained during a press conference held earlier this week.
