Woman given 15 years for role supplying drugs linked to Matthew Perry death

Jasveen Sangha, a drug dealer, was sentenced to 15 years in prison on Wednesday for supplying drugs to actor Matthew Perry, whose death in 2023 was attributed to the "acute effects of ketamine." Sangha pleaded guilty in September to five felony drug counts related to Perry's death. The judge cited Sangha's continued sale of ketamine after Perry's death as a factor in the length of the sentence. Sangha expressed remorse for her actions in court. Perry had previously shared his struggles with addiction, including ketamine infusions for anxiety and depression.

Authorities found numerous drugs at Sangha's North Hollywood home, which they described as a "drug-selling emporium."
