Matthew Perry’s ‘Ketamine Queen’ Dealer Obsessed With Mafia

Jasveen Sangha, now infamously known as the “Ketamine Queen,” was recently arrested in connection with the death of “Friends” actor Matthew Perry. Before allegedly giving Perry the ketamine that killed him last October, Sangha had long had a penchant for organized crime, specifically the mafia. Her obsession is evident on her website, which chronicles the origins and evolution of organized crime.

Fascination with the mafia

Sangha became interested in the mafia after watching classic films like “Scarface” and “The Godfather.” According to her website bio, “Later in high school, I decided to do a research project on the mafia, and I became fascinated by the history and many stories associated with each of America’s notorious crime families and famous gangsters.” This intense passion is displayed in several categories on her website, such as “Favorite Mafia Movies,” “Mafia Family Cities,” “Mafia History,” and “Mafia Mafia Photos.” Her Instagram bio proudly states that she is a UC Irvine alumna, and the blog includes a link to an old email address from the university.

Investigation and arrest in the death of Matthew Perry

Sangha’s involvement in Perry’s murder is no coincidence at all, according to the LAPD and federal investigators. After a multi-agency investigation, Sangha was arrested and is currently facing felony charges. Those include five counts of ketamine distribution, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, possession with intent to distribute ketamine, and maintaining drug-related premises. If convicted unanimously, Sangha could face up to life in prison.

The Fallout and Co-Conspirators

Sangha was not the only person involved in the investigation into Matthew Perry’s death. Drs. Erik Fleming, Mark Chavez, Dr. Salvador Plasencia, and Kenneth Iwamasa, Matthew’s former assistant, were also arrested and charged. Unlike Sangha, these individuals have reached plea agreements with the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Even though Sangha may spend the rest of her life behind bars, her story serves as a sobering reminder that crime never pays, whether it’s actual crime or a romantic relationship with the mob.
