Hollywood has always been a place of glitz, glamour, and untold stories behind the scenes. But the tragic death of beloved actor Matthew Perry reveals a darker side—a side filled with reckless greed, addiction, and heartless exploitation. The star, who won the hearts of millions as Chandler Bing on “Friends,” met an untimely end on October 28, 2023, at the age of 54. His death was not just a sad accident; it was the result of a sinister web of illegal drug distribution and exploitation by those who should have been looking out for him.
A Beloved Star’s Struggles
Matthew Perry was no stranger to the battle against addiction. Throughout his career, he openly discussed his struggles with substance abuse and the toll it took on his life. But even after years of trying to stay clean, the demons of addiction still haunted him. In the fall of 2023, Perry found himself slipping back into those dark habits. It was a time when he should have been surrounded by people who cared for him, who wanted to see him healthy and thriving. Instead, he was surrounded by vultures ready to take advantage of his vulnerability.
The Heartless Exploitation
The “Ketamine Queen,” as she’s come to be known, is at the center of this heartbreaking story. Jasveen Sangha, a 41-year-old woman, was notorious in underground circles for her ability to get her hands on large quantities of ketamine—a powerful and dangerous drug. This wasn’t her first brush with tragedy. Back in 2019, she sold ketamine to someone who died just hours later from an overdose. And yet, she continued her deadly trade, driven by greed and a callous disregard for human life.
When Matthew Perry, struggling once again with his addiction, sought out ketamine, Sangha saw an opportunity. Over the course of two weeks, she sold Perry 50 vials of ketamine for $11,000 in cash. It wasn’t just about making a quick buck; it was about exploiting a man’s desperate need for relief, no matter the cost to his life.
The Doctors Who Should Have Known Better
Sangha wasn’t the only one to blame. Two doctors, sworn to protect life, were deeply involved in the chain of events that led to Perry’s death. Dr. Salvador Plasencia, 42, was one of those doctors. He worked alongside another physician, Dr. Mark Chavez, to obtain and distribute ketamine to Perry. Over a span of just two months, these so-called healers supplied Perry with around 20 vials of ketamine, charging him an outrageous $55,000. To them, Perry wasn’t a patient in need of help—he was a cash cow.
What’s more shocking is that Plasencia knew exactly what he was doing. He was well aware of the risks, even going as far as to text a colleague, referring to Perry as a “moron” and boasting about how much money he could make off him. This wasn’t just unethical; it was criminal. Plasencia was playing with a man’s life, and it cost Matthew Perry everything.
The Final Hours
On the morning of October 28, 2023, Perry was at home in his Los Angeles residence. He was already deep in the grip of his addiction, and it was about to get worse. Perry’s live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, injected him with ketamine not once, not twice, but three times that day. The last shot was given just before Perry entered his jacuzzi. Iwamasa, who had no medical training, left the house to run errands. When he returned, he found Perry face down in the water, lifeless.
The autopsy later revealed that Perry had high levels of ketamine in his blood. He likely lost consciousness and slipped underwater, leading to his death. The very drug that he sought for relief became his undoing, and those around him—the ones who should have protected him—were the ones who led him to this tragic end.
The Reckoning
Now, as these facts come to light, the wheels of justice are beginning to turn. The Department of Justice has charged five individuals in connection with Perry’s death. Sangha, the “Ketamine Queen,” is facing the most severe charges, with the possibility of life in prison. Plasencia, who saw Perry’s addiction as a money-making scheme, could spend up to 120 years behind bars if convicted.
Meanwhile, Perry’s family is left to pick up the pieces. They are heartbroken, devastated by the loss of a son, brother, and friend. But they take some comfort in knowing that those responsible for exploiting Perry’s addiction, those who turned a blind eye to his suffering for the sake of profit, will face justice.
Final Thoughts
Matthew Perry’s death is a stark reminder of the dangers of addiction and the ruthless individuals who prey on those struggling with it. The “Ketamine Queen” and her accomplices didn’t just break the law—they shattered the lives of everyone who loved Perry. This was not just a crime of drugs; it was a crime of greed, negligence, and betrayal. As the legal process unfolds, we can only hope that justice will be served and that those who turned a blind eye to Perry’s suffering will be held accountable for their actions.

There is no war against drugs. Too much money is being made, The elites have the people believing that crime, murder, theft, drugs, etc is something that cannot be stopped. It can be. Arrest and severe punishment will deter lots of it. Right now, criminals are not afraid of the law. There are very little consequences
