"Jasveen Sangha, 42, was charged with conspiracy to distribute ketamine to Perry, whose struggles with drug addiction and numerous rehab visits were well documented and died from acute effects of the drug in October 2023. Sangha supplied the ketamine the actor injected on the day of his death, according to the plea agreement, which also noted that she sold drugs for years out of her North Hollywood apartment, described in a federal indictment as the "Sangha stash house.""
"Sangha's guilty plea is the final of five defendants tied to the Friends star's overdose and ketamine usage. She pleaded guilty to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. She also admitted to selling four vials of ketamine to Cody McLaury in August 2019. McLaury, 33, died hours later in his Los Angeles home from a drug overdose that included ketamine."
"Perry, who had become addicted to intravenous ketamine, started purchasing the powerful drug from a Southern California doctor in late September 2023, according to the indictment and law enforcement officials. A month later, Perry reached out to an acquaintance, Erik Fleming, a former producer and drug counseling worker. According to her plea deal, Sangha worked with Fleming, 55, of Hawthorne to knowingly distribute ketamine to Perry."

She acknowledged selling four vials of ketamine to Cody McLaury, who died hours later from an overdose that included ketamine.

Sangha faces up to 65 years in prison, with possible reductions for accepted responsibility.
