According to prosecutors, Sangha and Fleming supplied Iwamasa, who was the actor's assistant, with 51 vials of ketamine shortly before the actor's death. Iwamasa then allegedly injected the actor, causing his death. After learning of the actor's death, Sangha allegedly sought to cover her tracks by instructing Fleming to "delete all our messages."
