This 42-year-old woman, who holds dual citizenship in the United States and the United Kingdom, has been in federal custody since August 2024.

On Wednesday, she admitted 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.

The gravity of her actions cannot be overstated.

Prosecutors have indicated that Sangha could face a staggering maximum prison sentence of 65 years when she is sentenced on December 10.

Matthew Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit television series “Friends,” was discovered lifeless in his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023.

He was found face down in the heated end of his pool, a tragic scene that shocked fans and friends alike.

At the time of his death, Perry was just 54 years old.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death as an accidental overdose of ketamine, a drug known for its hallucinogenic properties.

In recent years, ketamine has gained notoriety as an unregulated treatment for depression, often sought after by those battling mental health issues.

Perry had been candid about his struggles with addiction, detailing his tumultuous journey in his 2022 memoir “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing.”

In his final months, he was undergoing ketamine infusion therapy in an attempt to manage his depression and anxiety.

However, his reliance on the drug escalated, leading him to seek unsupervised doses that spiraled out of control, ultimately culminating in his tragic death.

The medical examiner’s findings revealed that the concentration of ketamine in Perry’s system was equivalent to what would typically be used in general anesthesia.

This alarming detail paints a vivid picture of the extent of his dependency on the substance.

Sangha’s involvement in this tragic saga deepens the narrative of Perry’s demise.

Prosecutors allege that she collaborated with a man named Erik Fleming to provide ketamine to Perry.

In the month leading up to Perry’s death, Sangha and Fleming reportedly sold him approximately 51 vials of the drug.

These vials were allegedly supplied to Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry’s live-in personal assistant.

The role of Iwamasa in this grim tale cannot be overlooked.

Prosecutors claim that he repeatedly administered ketamine injections to Perry in the days leading up to the fatal overdose, including at least three shots on the very day Perry was found dead.

The chilling aftermath of Perry’s death reveals a disturbing conversation that took place between Sangha and Fleming.

After learning about Perry’s tragic fate through news reports, Sangha reached out to Fleming via the encrypted messaging application Signal, instructing him to “delete all our messages.”

This request raises unsettling questions about the extent of their knowledge and complicity in the events leading to Perry’s overdose.

Fleming has already pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death.

Iwamasa also entered a guilty plea in August 2024, admitting to conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death.

As this harrowing narrative unfolds, it sheds light on the darker aspects of fame and the lengths to which individuals may go in their pursuit of relief from mental anguish.

Perry’s story is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by many battling addiction, and the tragic consequences that can arise when help is sought in the wrong places.

The “Ketamine Queen” and her co-conspirators now stand at the center of a legal storm, facing the repercussions of their actions in a case that has captivated the public’s attention.

This case not only highlights the dangers of substance abuse but also raises crucial discussions about the responsibility of those who enable addiction.

The allure of quick fixes in the form of unregulated treatments can have devastating consequences, as seen in Perry’s heartbreaking story.
