Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Ketamine Queen,” reportedly agreed to plead guilty in connection to Matthew Perry’s overdose death.
NBC News reported on Monday, August 18, that Sangha, 42, will plead guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The outlet cited the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
Sangha faces a maximum of 65 years in prison, according to the outlet, noting that she is expected to enter the plea in the coming weeks. A sentencing date for Sangha has not been scheduled.
“She’s taking responsibility for her actions,” Sangha’s attorney, Mark Geragos, said, per NBC News.
Perry died at age 54 in October 2023, with a toxicology report concluding that his death was the result of “the acute effects of ketamine.” Drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine (used to treat opioid use) were listed as contributing factors.
