Jasveen Sangha has been arrested in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry.
The 41-year-old was charged on 18 counts relating to supplying ketamine to the Friends star in the weeks before he died at the age of 54.
Sangha, who was reportedly known throughout North Hollywood as a celebrity dealer, was nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen” for her prolific activities.
She is charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, operating a drug premises, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine and five counts of distribution of ketamine.
Just hours before she was arrested by police in Los Angeles, Sangha took to social media to brag about her new haircut and hair color, and share snaps from her lavish vacations to Mexico and Japan.

Sangha is just one of four others arrested on August 15 in connection with the actor’s tragic death, which shocked the world in October 2023.
In an indictment, texts between the suspects revealed that Sangha was known in the community for “only dealing”[ing] with high-end and celebrities in her drug trade.
She is accused of using her North Hollywood home, referred to in the indictment as the “Sangha Stash House,” to store, package and distribute narcotics, including ketamine and methamphetamine.
The indictment alleges that Sangha “knew that the unsupervised and improper use of ketamine could be fatal” and that in 2019 she sold drugs to another, unnamed customer, who died of a drug overdose.
On October 11, 2023, Sangha allegedly used Signal to message suspect Eric Fleming, saying her ketamine was “high quality” and offering Perry a sample. She said: “It’s not branded but it’s amazing – he’ll take one and try it and I’ve got more if he wants it.”
According to the indictment, 25 vials of ketamine were purchased from Sangha on October 24 to give to Perry. “As part of the transaction, defendant Sangha included ketamine lollipops as a ‘perk’ to his large ketamine order.”
