A woman who supplied a lethal dose of drugs to the late Matthew Perry, beloved for his role as 'Chandler Bing' in the popular American sitcom 'Friends,' has acknowledged the charges against her.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice's Central District of California on the 18th (local time), Jasbin Senger, 42, known as the 'Ketamine Queen' in Hollywood, reached an agreement to plead guilty to five federal crimes in a case where she was accused of supplying ketamine to Perry.
The charges acknowledged by Senger include one count of operating a drug-related facility, three counts of supplying ketamine, and one count of causing death or serious bodily injury from supplying ketamine.
According to the prosecution, Senger sold 51 bottles of ketamine to Perry through a broker, which were delivered via his personal secretary. The secretary repeatedly administered injections to Perry, having reportedly done so at least three times on the day before his death.
The next day, Perry was found dead in the swimming pool of his Los Angeles home, and the autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was 'acute ketamine toxicity.'
Senger attempted to conceal evidence shortly after the incident, but a large quantity of drugs was seized during the investigation at both her residence and transaction site. With Senger, who had been the last to deny the charges, now admitting guilt, all defendants have accepted responsibility.
Matthew Perry gained worldwide fame from 'Friends,' which aired from 1994 to 2004, but he struggled with drug and alcohol addiction for much of his life. In a memoir published in 2022, he confessed to his experiences with addiction and is said to have overdosed while undergoing ketamine infusion therapy to treat depression and anxiety.
