Overview
Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the 'Ketamine Queen,' is accused of selling Matthew Perry the fatal dose of ketamine that led to his death. She has pleaded not guilty.
Matthew Perry was found dead at his home on October 23, 2023, at age 54, with ketamine identified as the cause of his passing.
Sangha's trial is set for September 23 in Los Angeles by a federal judge. It has been postponed four times since her April 2024 indictment.
She has been in federal custody since her arrest last year as a major target in the investigation into Perry's death.
Prosecutors allege Perry sought illegal drugs from Sangha and others after a doctor refused his requests. Dr. Salvador Plasencia also pleaded guilty to distribution.
