U.S. judge sentences "Ketamine Queen" to 15 years for selling Matthew Perry fatal ketamine dose

A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a woman to 15 years in prison after she admitted selling Matthew Perry the ketamine that killed him in 2023, the stiffest punishment so far among five defendants in the high-profile overdose case of the popular star of the global hit TV series "Friends."

U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett imposed the sentence on Jasveen Sangha, a North Hollywood resident described by prosecutors as a high-end dealer known to customers as the "Ketamine Queen." Sangha pleaded guilty last year to five federal charges, including distributing ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, three counts of ketamine distribution and maintaining a drug-involved premises.
