Matthew Perry's alleged drug dealer “Ketamine Queen” may have called him by the code name “Chandler”

Jasveen Sangha – also known as the “Ketamine Queen,” who was arrested on August 15 for her involvement in the death of Matthew Perry – may have used a code name during conversations involving the purchase and supply of ketamine to the late star.

In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, prosecutors allege that Sangha referred to Perry “by using the name of a well-known personality who [Perry] portrayed in a television series.”

The actor was best known for his popular role as Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom “Friends.” He died on October 28, 2023 from “acute effects of ketamine.”

On August 15, five people, including Sangha, Erik Fleming, Perry's assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and two doctors, were arrested and charged with several counts.

During a press conference the same day, U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Martin Estrada said at one point that the defendants distributed approximately “20 vials for approximately $50,000 in cash” to Perry so that Iwamasa could distribute the drug to the actor. In another sale, the dealers “took advantage of Mr. Perry” by selling approximately “50 vials of ketamine for approximately $11,000 in cash.”

According to the Fleming plea agreement obtained by Fox News Digital, Sangha, Iwamasa and Fleming worked to destroy evidence showing the actor had been given multiple ketamine injections.

During a phone call on October 28, Sangha and Fleming discussed distancing themselves from the drug deal by deleting “digital evidence” from their cell phones.

Sangha instructed Fleming to delete all text messages exchanged between the two and updated the settings on Signal, an encrypted messaging app, to automatically delete messages, court documents say.

Fleming and Perry's personal assistant spoke by phone on Oct. 30, two days after Perry's death. Iwamasa said, according to the settlement, that he “cleaned the crime scene” by disposing of the syringes and ketamine vials. Iwamasa also claimed he “deleted everything.” Fleming, in text messages to the “Ketamine Queen,” apparently blamed Iwamasa.

“Please call… I have more information and would like to exchange ideas with you,” Fleming wrote in a text message attached to the plea. “I am 90% sure everyone is protected. I have never spoken to [Victim M.P.]. Just his assistant. So the assistant was the enabler. Also, they do a toxicity screening for three months… Does potassium stay in your system or does it get flushed out immediately?”

On the morning of Oct. 28, Iwamasa administered a ketamine injection to the actor around 8:30 a.m., according to the documents. At 12:45 p.m., Perry instructed Iwamasa to give him another injection while the “Friends” star watched a movie.

About 40 minutes later, Perry demanded another injection, allegedly telling Iwamasa, “Give me a big shot,” according to the agreement. Iwamasa then left the house to run errands for Perry, only to return to find him dead in the hot tub, “face down.”

Perry's death was caused by “acute effects of ketamine,” according to his autopsy completed on October 29. Drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine were listed as contributing factors.

In a recent interview with the Times, David Crane, co-creator of “Friends,” revealed that Perry had taken drugs at times during the series’ run, something the late actor spoke about very openly.

“By the time we realized this, we were already a family on many levels,” he explained.

“At some point we said to him: ‘Do you want to stop [being in the show]?' And he said categorically: 'No, this is really important to me.'”

Perry famously admitted in 2022 that staying on the show probably saved his life.

“The fact that I would give anything not to have this disease is true,” he said People Magazinee of fame. “But I'm not taking away from how much fun the experience of being on 'Friends' was. And the money was incredible. Just the creative experience of being on 'Friends' probably saved my life.”
