The dual US-British citizen has been in federal custody since August 2024 and is expected to formally enter her pleas in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sangha becomes the fifth person to admit playing a role in Perry\u2019s death, marking a significant development in the high-profile case that has exposed a complex drug distribution network targeting the troubled actor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-tatal-transaction\">The tatal transaction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to court documents, Sangha worked with middleman Erik Fleming to sell 51 vials of ketamine to Perry\u2019s live-in personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. The assistant repeatedly injected Perry with the drug, including on the day of his death when he administered at least three shots of Sangha\u2019s ketamine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry was found dead in the hot tub of his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023. An autopsy revealed high levels of ketamine \u2013 an anesthetic with psychedelic properties \u2013 in his system, prompting a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When news of Perry\u2019s death broke, Sangha allegedly attempted to destroy evidence. \u201cDelete all our messages,\u201d she instructed Fleming, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal agents who raided Sangha\u2019s residence discovered a drug dealer\u2019s arsenal: methamphetamine, ketamine, ecstasy, cocaine, and counterfeit Xanax pills. They also found a money counting machine, a scale, and devices to detect wireless signals and hidden cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-medical-professionals-involved\">Medical professionals involved<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The case has also ensnared medical professionals who exploited Perry\u2019s addiction for profit. Dr.&nbsp;Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty last month to four counts of ketamine distribution, while Dr.&nbsp;Mark Chavez admitted to conspiring to distribute the drug to Perry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plasencia allegedly purchased ketamine from Chavez and sold it to Perry at inflated prices. In text messages revealed during the investigation, Plasencia wrote: \u201cI wonder how much this moron will pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s taking responsibility for her actions,\u201d Sangha\u2019s attorney Mark Geragos told AFP. Sangha faces charges including maintaining a drug-involved premises and multiple counts of ketamine distribution. She could face decades in prison when sentenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perry-s-struggle-with-addiction\">Perry\u2019s struggle with addiction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian-American actor had been receiving ketamine as part of supervised therapy for depression before his death. However, prosecutors say he became addicted to the substance, which has gained popularity as a party drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry\u2019s battle with addiction was well-documented and public. In 2018, he suffered a drug-related burst colon requiring multiple surgeries. His 2022 memoir, \u201cFriends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,\u201d detailed his struggles with substance abuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have mostly been sober since 2001,\u201d Perry wrote, \u201csave for about sixty or seventy little mishaps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perry rose to fame as the sarcastic Chandler Bing on \u201cFriends,\u201d the hit sitcom that followed six New Yorkers navigating adulthood, dating, and careers. The show made megastars of its previously unknown cast and drew a massive global following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite his professional success and wealth, Perry\u2019s life was marked by a dark struggle with addiction to painkillers and alcohol that ultimately led to his untimely death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remaining defendants in the case are expected to appear in court over the coming months for sentencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES \u2013 A drug dealer nicknamed the Ketamine Queen has agreed to plead guilty to supplying the narcotics that killed beloved Friends actor Matthew Perry, federal prosecutors announced Monday.
