Federal authorities believe the so-called "Ketamine Queen” at the center of the investigation surrounding Matthew Perry’s death may be responsible for more deaths given the alleged scope of her drug dealing.

Jasveen Sangha has been charged with several drug-related offenses in connection with the Friends star's death.

Perry, who was found in his jacuzzi on Oct. 28, 2023, in his Los Angeles, Calif., died from “acute effects of ketamine,” authorities previously said.

Last week, California officials announced drug-related charges against five people, including Sangha, in connection with Perry’s death.

Sangha, who authorities claim was the primary supplier of the ketamine that Perry took on the day of his death, has allegedly been connected to at least one other death, according to an indictment against her reviewed by PEOPLE.

The indictment alleges that Sangha “is linked to at least two drug overdose deaths and, given the volume of drugs defendant sold, there are likely more victims."

Years before Perry’s death, Sangha was connected to another ketamine-related death of a victim, the indictment claims.

In August 2019, Sangha allegedly sold ketamine to a person identified only as C.M. in the indictment. C.M., died of a drug overdose the same day.

A family member of the victim's allegedly messaged Sangha: "The ketamine you sold my brother killed him. It’s listed as the cause of death," per the indictment.

Sangha searched “can ketamine be listed as a cause of death[?]” on Google, which confirmed that it is possible for ketamine to have killed the victim, the indictment claims.

Authorities allege despite being aware of this, Sangha did not stop her sale of ketamine.

"Rather than stop her operation after Victim C.M.’s death, defendant continue to deal out of the SANGHA Stash Location and continued to sell ketamine even after Victim M.P. died in 2023, until she was apprehended in 2024," the indictment alleges, referencing Matthew Perry's 2023 death.
