[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] Jasveen Sangha, a Los Angeles drug dealer nicknamed the "Kathine Queen", was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a California court in early April this year for selling drugs, which led to the death of Matthew Perry, the actor of the American TV series "Six Lives".

The Facebook fan page "Look! Authentic Movie Critics Team! Movie Critics!!" recently posted a post revealing that Matthew's sister had a heartbreaking interview and said that her brother spent 7 million US dollars (about NT$220 million) to fight alcohol and drug addiction before his death. But what the family cannot accept is that it was his personal assistant and professional doctors who trusted him most to push him to death. The tragic life of Matthew Perry, who was only 54 years old, will be made public through a new Netflix documentary.
