The New York Post reported:
“Erik Fleming, 56, had pleaded guilty in connection with Perry’s 2023 overdose death at the actor’s Los Angeles home.
Fleming, a former Hollywood producer and director, introduced Perry to ‘Ketamine Queen’ Jasveen Sangha two weeks before the actor’s shocking death.”
“Fleming would score ketamine from Sangha, jack up the price, and then sell it to Perry’s personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa at the actor’s home.
Fleming turned on Sangha and was the first defendant to plead guilty in the case, on one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. He is one of five people who pleaded guilty in connection with the actor’s death.”
