Matthew Perry, beloved for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends, was found dead in his home, sparking a high-profile investigation. Five individuals, including his personal assistant, are facing charges for allegedly supplying harmful substances, including ketamine, to the late actor. Among the key figures in this case is the notorious 'Ketamine Queen,' Jasveen Sangha. Curious about her role in this gripping scandal? Dive into the details of this shocking story and find out who Jasveen Sangha really is.

Matthew Perry, who brought the beloved character Chandler Bing to life in the TV show Friends, passed away last October.

His death deeply saddened his fans and raised many questions. Perry was found dead in his home's jacuzzi, and it was initially thought to be an accident.

Doctors detected a high dose of ketamine in Perry's body.

Perry had struggled with addiction for years and had recently announced that he had overcome it. The famous actor was receiving ketamine infusion therapy, but the amount of the substance found in his blood was more than what would be expected from a treatment. Moreover, he had last received the treatment just a week before his death.

In the investigation into Matthew Perry's death, five people, including his personal assistant, were detained.

According to the BBC, the year-long investigation uncovered a broad ketamine network in the U.S. and revealed another death connected to it.

Among those detained are doctors, Perry's personal assistant, and Jasveen Sangha, known as the "Ketamine Queen."

Sangha is facing nine different charges, including conspiracy to distribute harmful substances and distribution of substances leading to death.

Last Thursday, Sangha's bail request was denied by the authorities after she pleaded not guilty in court.

She will remain in custody until the hearing in October.

What do we know about the Ketamine Queen?

According to the BBC, Jasveen Sangha has been supplying ketamine from a 'stash house' since 2019. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada stated at a press conference that Sangha's home in Hollywood was actually a 'drug distribution hub.' Allegedly, dozens of different types and thousands of pills were seized during the searches conducted at her home.

It is claimed that the Ketamine Queen only worked with high-profile and celebrity clients.

Her alleged accomplice, Eril Fleming, claims that Sangha only served celebrities. Sangha also frequently flaunted her luxurious lifestyle on social media.

Sangha is also seen alongside famous personalities in her social life.

Her close friends report that she has appeared at the Oscars and shared moments of her extreme luxury parties on social media after Perry's death. She vacationed in several countries, including Japan and Mexico, and is also said to have dyed her hair purple just a day before her arrest.

It is alleged that Sangha met Perry through another suspect, Dr. Salvador Plasencia.

When Dr. Plasencia learned that Perry was undergoing treatment, he first contacted Dr. Mark Chavez, another suspect in the case. It is claimed that Dr. Plasencia taught Perry’s assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, how to inject ketamine into Perry, with Sangha being the primary supplier of the substance.

"The defendants were more concerned with profiting from Perry rather than his well-being," said Prosecutor Martin Estrada at a press conference.

He claimed that the defendants were closely connected to Perry's death and that Sangha worked with many other celebrities, not just Perry.
