The prime suspect in the case of Friends star Matthew Perry’s (The Odd Couple, The Good Wife) 2023 overdose has switched to a guilty plea, according to a report by Deadline’s Dominic Patten. Self-admitted drug dealer Jasveen Sangha, nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen” by her customers, is expected to plead guilty to five charges at an upcoming hearing, the most serious among which is allegedly administering the fatal dose of ketamine that Perry consumed before drowning in his Pacific Palisades bathtub almost two years ago.

“She’s taking responsibility for her actions,” Sangha’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said in a statement via ABC News. The Department of Justice had previously reported that Sangha had attempted to hide her involvement in Perry’s death by unsuccessfully ordering the deletion of incriminating text messages through instant messaging service Signal, according to Deadline.

Despite her nickname, Sangha represents just one of many hands the hallucinogenic drug passed through before finally making their way into Perry’s — then a recovering addict — hands.First, Drs. Salvador Plasenica and Mark Chavez took advantage of their medical licenses to allegedly illegally supply Sangha with the ketamine. Sangha then allegedly sold the drug to novice Hollywood director Erik Fleming, who in turn allegedly administered it to Perry via the actor’s live-in assistant Kenneth Iwamasa. Plasencia, Chavez, Fleming, and Iwamasa have all previously agreed to guilty pleas, making Sangha the sole holdout (until today).

The drug dealer, who was first arrested in August 2024 as part of the investigation into Perry’s death (via Deadline), will admit to five charges, each of which carries with it a potentially lengthy federal prison sentence. She faces a statutory maximum of 30 years for her three counts of distribution of ketamine, and up to 15 additional years for one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The final charge, a single count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, comes with a maximum sentence of 20 years. In her plea agreement, Sangva also admitted to allegedly providing four vials of ketamine to Cody McLaury, another casualty of overdose, in August of 2019 (via ABC News); if and when Sangva will be tried for the McLaury case is unknown.

Deadline reports that the incarcerated Ketamine Queen is expected to make a formal court appearance and officially change her plea sometime in autumn of 2024.
