Matthew Perry's Responsibility - 'Queen of Ketamine' - Matthew Perry's demise - The "Ketamine Queen" to concede to culpability
In a shocking turn of events, Jasveen Sangha, also known as the "Ketamine Queen", has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors in relation to the death of Matthew Perry, the beloved actor known for his role in "Friends".
Sangha will plead guilty to multiple federal charges, including distribution of ketamine that led to Perry's death or serious injury. She is part of a network of suppliers accused of enabling Perry's ketamine addiction and overdose.
On the day of Perry's death, his assistant is said to have administered at least three doses of ketamine to him at his request. The ketamine in Perry's system at the time of death could not have come from his therapy, according to the medical examiner's office.
Sangha will admit guilt to five counts: maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distributing ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. She sold ketamine to Perry's inner circle, including a fatal dose shortly before his death in October 2023.
The plea deal avoids a September trial and makes Sangha the fifth defendant in the case to reach an agreement with federal prosecutors. The group also included two physicians, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Dr. Mark Chavez, Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa, and another seller, Eric Fleming. Sangha could face up to 45 years in prison.
It's important to note that ketamine is a proven anesthetic that has been used for decades. Under certain conditions, people with treatment-resistant depression can be treated with ketamine. However, the ketamine supplied by Sangha was illegal and led to Perry's tragic demise.
After news of Perry's death went viral, Sangha instructed her accomplices to delete all text messages related to the supply and cover their tracks. Some partygoers also use ketamine as an illegal club drug.
Perry was found dead in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023. An autopsy found that he died from the effects of ketamine use, exacerbated by a heart condition and medication for opioid addiction.
Two doctors, an assistant, and a friend of Matthew Perry were arrested and have pleaded guilty to supplying Perry with ketamine. The "Ketamine Queen" is alleged to have supplied the fatal dose of ketamine that led to Perry's death.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of illegal drug use and the importance of seeking help for mental health issues through proper, legal channels.
