A case was filed in the US court over his death given he received the lethal doses of the drugs from five people.

Jasveen Sangha reportedly pleaded guilty to five federal charges on Wednesday, September 3. These included illegally providing the ketamine that caused the demise of Matthew Perry. Notably, her trial in the case had been scheduled to begin later this month; however, she reached a plea agreement in August 2025.



After her confession, Jasveen Sangha will be put in the jail for up to 65 years. However, the prosecutors stated that they will ask for less than the maximum penalty. The portal also recorded that the Friends actor Suzanne Perry and his stepfather also attended the court proceedings as the Ketamine Queen answered questions regarding her awareness that the drugs she gave co-defendant Erik Fleming were for Perry. Jasveen Sangha told the judge, “There was no way I could tell 100 per cent. I didn't know if all of [the vials] or some of them.” Apart from the 42-year-old, four other individuals have also pleaded guilty in the Matthew Perry death case. They are now awaiting sentencing.
