Jasveen Sangha, who is one of five people indicted in Matthew Perry’s death from ketamine, may have referred to the late “Friends” star as “Chandler” in communications.
The shocking information was revealed in Perry’s acquaintance Erik Fleming’s plea agreement, in which he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death.
The documents, obtained by Page Six, state that prosecutors allege Sangha, who is nicknamed the “Ketamine Queen,” referred to Perry “using a name of a well-known character that [Perry] portrayed in a television series.”

Sangha has yet to enter a plea in her case.
The agreement didn’t specify which name Sangha allegedly used for Perry, and a spokesperson for the Department of Justice didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Perry also has starred in other television series such as “The Odd Couple,” “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and “Go On.”
The others arrested in connection to the “17 Again” star’s death were his personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and two doctors, Salvador Plasencia and Mark Chavez.
Iwamasa pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death and admitted to injecting Perry with ketamine on the day he died. Chavez, 54, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine after admitting to selling ketamine to Plasencia, 42.
Like Sangha, Plasencia has yet to cut a plea.
Prosecutors claim in court documents that the pair of doctors discussed trying to scam Perry into paying more money for the drug, writing, “I wonder how much this moron will pay” and “Lets [sic] find out.”
The “Fools Rush In” star was found dead in his hot tub on Oct. 28 after Iwamasa “shot” him up “with a big” dose of ketamine. He was 54.
In his memoir, “Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing,” Perry actually denounced ketamine, which he had received infusions of to treat his depression, because it made him feel like he was “dying.”
“Yet I would continually sign up for this s–t because it was something different, and anything different is good,” he explained of his treatments at a Swiss clinic.
