Video Final defendant in Matthew Perry death investigation sentenced
Jasveen Sangha, the so-called "ketamine queen," was sentenced to 15 years in prison for providing the drug that led to the death of "Friends" star Matthew Perry.
abcnews.comHere’s what I can share based on the latest publicly reported developments:
-
Several individuals linked to the Matthew Perry death investigation have been sentenced in 2025–2026, with new federal prison terms issued for ketamine distribution tied to the case. For example, reports indicate that Erik Fleming received a 24-month federal prison sentence with three years of supervised release, following earlier sentences for others involved in the ketamine supply network. This reflects ongoing federal prosecutions connected to Perry’s overdose [sources include The Blast and Geo TV summaries from May 2026].[1][2]
-
Other related defendants have received substantial sentences: Sangha was sentenced to 15 years in prison on ketamine distribution charges including one count tied to death or serious bodily injury, and Dr. Salvador Plasencia was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. Additional defendants have faced home detention or other penalties as part of plea deals. These sentences are part of a broader crackdown on illicit ketamine distribution connected to the Perry case.[4][6][1]

Coverage also notes the Perry family’s perspective on how the tragedy unfolded, with statements from Perry’s mother reflecting on how trust and surrounding circumstances contributed to the events. Sentencing hearings for remaining defendants in the network have continued into 2026, with updates around May 2026 indicating evolving outcomes for those involved.[3][9]
