A California woman known as the “Ketamine Queen” has agreed to plead guilty to federal drug charges in connection with Matthew Perry’s fatal overdose two years ago.
Jasveen 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, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
Sangha faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, the prosecutor’s office said in a news release.
Sangha is expected to enter the plea in the coming weeks, according to the release. Her sentencing date has not yet been set.
Her guilty plea comes after several others, including two doctors and Perry’s live-in personal assistant, pleaded guilty to ketamine distribution charges in the actor’s death.
Perry, 54, was found face down in the heated end of his Pacific Palisades pool on Oct. 28, 2023.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office attributed his death to an accidental overdose of ketamine, a hallucinogen long known as a party drug that has grown in popularity in recent years as an off-label treatment for depression.
