One year after Matthew Perry’s death, Jasveen Sangha is in jail awaiting trial on charges that she sold him the ketamine that killed him. A few weeks after Matthew Perry was discovered floating facedown in a hot pool , the woman who prosecutors say supplied the ketamine that killed the actor was indulging in afternoon tea at a five-star hotel in Japan and taking mirror selfies while modelling a kimono. Several months later, she posted highlights from a trip to Mexico, where she enjoyed caviar at the airport, sitting poolside at the beach and admiring a drink within a coconut.
The woman, Jasveen Sangha, liked to share images of a glamorous life on social media, of herself rubbing elbows with celebrities and travelling around the world to Spain, China and Dubai. But her home was a midrise building for the aspiring upper class in North Hollywood, an unglamorous space in an unremarkable part of town. It was there, prosecutors say, that Sangha manufactured, stored and distributed illegal drugs for at least five years, including those connected to the deaths of Perry and another man.
When the authorities raided Sangha’s fourth-floor apartment in March, they said they found cocaine, 79 vials of ketamine and 1.3kg of orange pills containing methamphetamine. Prosecutors emphasised in court documents that customers knew her as the “Ketamine Queen”.
