Assistant, Dealer, and Others Indicted
The late actor's assistant and a suspected drug dealer are among the individuals charged in connection with Matthew Perry's accidental overdose death last year, according to law enforcement sources who spoke to NBC News.
Jasveen Sangha, also known as the "Ketamine Queen," and Kenneth Iwamasa, Perry's live-in personal assistant, were both indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday.
Grand Jury Charges Detailed
- Sangha allegedly supplied Perry with prescription drugs in the months leading up to his overdose.
- Iwamasa is accused of obtaining oxycodone for Perry and failing to call for help when the actor overdosed.
Other individuals charged include Erik Fleming, a friend of Perry's who allegedly supplied him with opioids, and several alleged co-conspirators.
Ketamine Found in Stomach
