The tragic death of beloved actor Matthew Perry continues to cast a long shadow, with new revelations surfacing about the woman accused of supplying the fatal dose of ketamine.

As authorities dig deeper, questions mount about the events leading to Matthew Perry's untimely demise.

Law enforcement has unveiled a disturbing picture of Sangha, the alleged supplier of the fatal ketamine that claimed the life of Perry. 

Reports revealed that Sangha was indicted in April on charges of drug trafficking, months before her alleged involvement in the tragic death of the actor. 

According to the U.S. Attorney, Sangha had allegedly "knowingly and intentionally distributed ketamine" and methamphetamine. Authorities executed a search warrant on her residence and discovered a staggering amount of illicit substances.

The illegal substances found reportedly included "1,978 grams of orange pills that field tested positive for methamphetamine, 79 bottles containing a clear liquid that field tested positive for ketamine, and various other suspect narcotics."

In addition to the drugs, agents also found a green journal detailing drug transactions, including sales prices and weights. To compound the gravity of the situation, investigators claim to have found a firearm in Sangha's possession. 

According to TMZ, further evidence uncovered during the search included videos on her phone allegedly showing her preparing ketamine for sale, with her voice explaining the process of converting liquid ketamine into powder.

The reason this information is now being revealed and why the investigation has taken such a serious turn may be due to reports that the actor experienced a severe reaction to ketamine just weeks before his fatal overdose.

Earlier today, The Blast reported that prosecutors revealed during a U.S. Attorney's news conference that Dr. Salvador Plasencia visited Perry's home two weeks prior to his death. 

The doctor allegedly visited just to administer a large dose of ketamine. However, this injection reportedly caused Perry's blood pressure to spike, leaving him frozen in place.

Alarmed by the incident, Plasencia and Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, initially agreed to reduce the dosage. However, it appears this decision was short-lived, as Iwamasa allegedly injected Perry with ketamine nearly 30 times in the days leading up to his death.

The extent of Perry's dependency on the drug became increasingly apparent, with reports of clandestine drug administration sessions taking place in a parking lot.

In the wake of recent arrests tied to Perry's tragic death, things have taken a dark turn, with allegations surfacing that his inner circle exploited his struggles with addiction for personal gain.

The Blast noted that former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani painted a chilling picture of a vulnerable star surrounded by opportunistic individuals. 

Rahmani suggested that Perry's generous nature and immense wealth made him an easy target for those seeking to profit from his misfortune. In his words:

"They have these entourages that are many times like leeches. They have a ton of money, and there are people that just take advantage of them and make money off them and milk them."

The actor's well-documented battle with opioid addiction provided an open door for individuals to capitalize on his dependency. Rahmani added that by charging exorbitant sums for ketamine, these individuals allegedly preyed on Perry's vulnerability.

This week, law enforcement took decisive action in the ongoing investigation into the death of the beloved actor with the arrest of five individuals. 

Among those arrested were two doctors, Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez, distributor Jasveen Sangha, broker Eric Fleming, and Perry's former personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa.

Court documents allege a disturbing conspiracy involving the group to "illegally obtain ketamine and distribute it to" Perry with ketamine at exorbitant prices. 

Iwamasa is accused of allegedly conspiring with the others to obtain and distribute the illicit drug to the actor on a regular basis. 

Given the ongoing investigation and recent arrests, it is clear that Matthew Perry's tragic death has brought to light the full extent of his struggles and the role his inner circle played in his final days.
