A trial for the so-called “Ketamine Queen” and a Santa Monica doctor who supplied Matthew Perry with the drugs that contribute to the Friends star’s death last year has been set. If found guilty, the duo could be in federal prison for decades.
Canceling a hearing scheduled for tomorrow in the cases of Jasveen Sangha and Dr. Salvador Plasencia, U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett has inked in the duo’s joint trial to start on March 4, 2025.

A doctor who arranged to sell massive vials of ketamine for Matthew Perry in the month before his overdose death will plead guilty to a single federal charge, authorities said Friday.
Mark Chavez has agreed to plead guilty to one federal count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, according to a Justice Department statement. The 54-year-old San Diego doctor once met Perry at the Long Beach Aquarium parking lot to inject the “Friends” actor, who would be found later that month face-down in the hot tub behind his Pacific Palisades home.
Chavez is among five people charged earlier this month in the October death that was ruled a ketamine overdose with drowning as a factor. Chavez admitted to diverting vials of the drug from his former ketamine clinic and selling it to Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who provided it to Perry in a broader illegal distribution scheme.

Matthew Perry’s assistant and the other individuals tied to the star’s death allegedly tried to cover up his overdose. In the days after his death, Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, and Jasveen Sangha (Ketamine Queen) attempted to get rid of evidence that would tie them to Perry’s death. More details from court documents reveal what they did and said to try and cover everything up.
Iwamasa, Fleming & Sangha Attempted A Cover Up
The trio did what they could to get rid of any evidence that would link them to the ketamine that ultimately took the late actor’s life. Fleming and the “Ketamine Queen” were the first to attempt to cover their tracks by “deleting digital evidence” from their phones.
Jasveen Sangha told Fleming to delete the text messages they’d exchanged. They also updated Signal, which is an encrypted app, to automatically delete messages between the two of them.

Two men were arrested and charged with the death of Matthew Perry. The two men included a doctor and a go-between. They allegedly sold the ketamine to the actor, and Perry’s own assistant helped administer it. This led to Perry’s accidental death as he was sitting in a hot tub at his home.
Now, police records indicate that these two men had conspired to “scam” Perry out of money for the drugs. Here is what we know.

Thanks to his high-profile status, the LAPD has worked hard to bring people to justice for his death. It is similar to the probes into the deaths of Michael Jackson and Mac Miller.

“[Our] investigation has revealed a broad, underground criminal network responsible for distributing large quantities of ketamine to Mr. Perry and others. This network included a live-in assistant, various go-betweens, two medical doctors and a major source of drug supply known as ‘The Ketamine Queen,'” E. Martin Estrada, United States Attorney for the Central District of California, confirmed in a Thursday press conference.
“We charged five defendants in this matter. These defendants took advantage of Mr. Perry’s addiction issues to enrich themselves.

With a career that goes back nearly 50 years, director Jean-Jacques Annaud was bound to run into some troublesome actors. But the French filmmaker has been relatively lucky – and it wasn’t Brad Pitt or Jude Law or Two Brothers’ Kumal and Sangha that gave him headaches, it was F. Murray Abraham.
Speaking at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon, France (via Deadline), Jean-Jacques Annaud said that working with F. Murray Abraham on 1986’s The Name of the Rose – a 4K presentation of which was screened at the festival – was a nightmare compared to what he expected from his co-star. “Everybody warned me that Sean Connery was impossible and an extremely difficult character. He was an absolute dream and I got on with him fantastically…My only bad memory of an actor across my whole career, and I’ve directed, I think, thousands of actors, was F.
