The woman who killed Matthew Perry (54 years old at the time of his death in 2023) by selling deadly drugs to actor Matthew Perry, who was loved by fans around the world as Chandler Bing in "Friends," has finally been brought to justice. Jasveen Sangha, 42, the so-called "Queen of Ketamine," was sentenced to 15 years in prison in a U.S. federal court on the 8th (local time).

At the federal district court's sentencing hearing in Los Angeles, Sangha said, "I ask for forgiveness and pray every day. This court made me realize the most harsh reality of my life." He also added to the judge, "Thank you for bringing me out of this world."

Judge Sheryline Peace Garnett sentenced 180 months (15 years) in prison and three years of probation after being released from prison, as requested by the prosecution. Sangha could be sentenced to up to 65 years in prison, but he was sentenced to close to the lower limit within the sentencing standard range (14 years to 17 years and 6 months). The defense requested "time served" that the time served after the arrest in August 2024 was sufficient, but it was not accepted.

51 bottles of ketamine, and the tragedy of October 2023

In October 2023, Sangha, along with accomplice Eric Fleming, handed over 51 bottles of ketamine through Perry's private secretary Kenneth Iwamasa for $6,000 (W8.7 million). Iwamasa injected ketamine three times on the day of Perry's death alone, and Perry was found dead in the swimming pool of his Pacific Palisades home in Los Angeles on October 28 of that year. The cause of death was an acute overdose of ketamine.

What's more shocking is that Sangha hasn't stopped trading even though she's already seen the death once before. When Cody McClory, then 33 years old, an L.A. citizen who administered the ketamine she sold, died in 2019, the victim's sister personally informed Sangha by text. But Sangha didn't care. The prosecution strongly criticized, saying, "She didn't care, she kept selling." Shortly after Perry's death, it was also revealed that he instructed Fleming to "delete all our conversations" with an encryption messenger.

"He had to have another act"

Perry's mother, Susan Morrison, and stepfather and NBC's "Dateline" host Keith Morrison attended the courtroom. Morrison said after the sentencing: "I miss Matthew terribly. No one won today," he said, and in a court statement, he choked up, saying, "He had to have another, or two more acts." "You've caused hundreds, maybe thousands of people pain," Perry's stepmother Debbie Perry told Sangha directly.

The sentence was the last of the five defendants in the Sangha Ferry case to be sentenced. Another ketamine supply scheme Dr Salvador Placencia was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, his accomplice Mark Chavez to three years of probation, and Iwamasa and Fleming are still awaiting sentencing. The two-year legal battle over Matthew Perry's death has actually entered the final stages.

Matthew Perry received worldwide love for his role as Chandler Bing in the sitcom Friends, which aired from 1994 to 2004. His death, a familiar actor who has been re-run for decades in Korea, shocked the audience at the time of the announcement.
