It all makes sense now…
When Matthew Perry died in October 2023, fans were left with a mix of heartbreak and confusion. This guy wasn’t just Chandler Bing from Friends, he was also the guy who spoke openly about his battles with addiction, even writing a whole memoir about it.
His sudden death in a jacuzzi at his Los Angeles home sounded almost too surreal to process. Now, nearly two years later, we know the truth: A woman known in Hollywood’s underworld as the “Ketamine Queen” played a central role.
Jasveen Sangha, 42, is not some party dealer on the fringes of the Hollywood scene. According to prosecutors, her North Hollywood home was basically a Costco for ketamine, vials stacked like inventory, with bonus extras like meth, cocaine, and Xanax tossed in for good measure. The feds even nicknamed it the “Sangha Stash House.”
Sangha has now agreed to plead guilty to five federal charges, including one directly tied to Perry’s death: Distributing ketamine resulting in death or serious injury. Translation: She supplied the drugs that killed him. If you’re wondering just how bad this is, she faces up to 65 years in prison.
But there’s more….
She wasn’t alone. Perry’s tragic end was basically a group project in negligence and greed. Two doctors, Dr. Salvador Plasencia and Dr. Mark Chavez, were doling out ketamine under the guise of “treatment.”
His assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, was literally injecting Perry with the stuff, including on the very day he died. Another man, Eric Fleming, was moving vials from Sangha straight into Perry’s hands. All five of them have now pleaded guilty.
The DOJ says that on October 28, 2023, the day Perry died, his assistant injected him with at least three doses of Sangha’s ketamine. Hours later, he was gone.
If this sounds like something out of a crime drama, it gets worse. After Perry’s death made headlines, Sangha wasn’t exactly panicking with guilt. Instead, prosecutors say she was messaging Fleming on Signal, coaching him on how to cover their tracks. One of his texts back to her?
“I’m 90% sure everyone is protected. I never dealt with Perry. Only his Assistant. So the Assistant was the enabler.”
Yeah. Read that again.
Look…it’s not like Perry was her only victim. As part of her plea deal, Sangha admitted she sold ketamine to Cody McLaury back in 2019. Hours later, he too overdosed and died. Two deaths tied to the “Ketamine Queen,” and yet she was still operating years later, partying at the Golden Globes, posting her extravagant lifestyle on Instagram, and jetting off to Japan and Mexico like she was some sort of influencer with a pharmacy in her purse.
Now, people online are torn. Some blame Perry’s circle, asking why anyone close to him thought it was remotely okay to let him keep using. Others see this as proof that Hollywood’s “wellness” and “alternative treatment” industry is basically the wild west, where powerful people exploit addicts while convincing themselves it’s just therapy with a cool name.
Matthew Perry didn’t die because of ketamine. He died because everyone around him, dealers, doctors, and even his assistant, chose money, access, and self-interest over his life.
Hollywood has built a culture where addiction isn’t treated, it’s monetized. Perry wasn’t protected; he was surrounded by enablers who dressed up drug abuse as therapy. The so-called “Ketamine Queen” was just the most obvious villain, but the real failure was a system where a vulnerable man’s pain became a business model.
I say stop pretending celebrities are special cases. Addiction treatment needs strict oversight, zero loopholes for shady doctors, and accountability for anyone supplying substances under the guise of medicine.
If Perry had been treated like any normal patient, with proper medical safeguards and boundaries, he’d still be alive.
If this story made you pause, raise an eyebrow, or just feel something. That’s the whole point.
But where I really have fun and put my thoughts and opinions out is when I dig up strange, overlooked news from around the world every single day. Not the loud headlines… the stuff that slips through the cracks.
So if my words hit home or at least hit somewhere, consider sticking around.
