''Chief superintendent Keith Gilert said:*"The family*were made aware of the incident by officers as soon as possible and were assisted to attend the hospital as quickly as possible.''


...jeeez, your child goes off to a music festival with his friends...and so full of excitement, maybe even his first festival.../...poor young guy and it's unimaginable what they're feeling...:sad:...

[Liam-]

This is why you shouldn't take drugs kids, I feel for his family.

Lets hope they avoid dodgy drugs

what drugs did he take this is all so vague :worry:

[Braden]

RIP.

When I went to Reading 3 years ago, it was quite surreal how bad of a state people would get themselves into. The number of collapsed bodies I saw was just horrible. It's sad that people feel the need to have so much drink/drugs to enjoy the experience. I really feel for the family of this guy. It's such a terrible circumstance.

[Beso]

My heart goes out to the young lads family life will never be the same.

Poor kid..rip

"I assume" they may have been tablets
fast high type

RIP. Always sad to lose a life, especially so young.

Going to be slightly controversial though and say, I would bet this wasn't actually 'because' of whatever drugs he had taken, but they way he took them. Either way too much or mixed with alcohol...as the majority of 'bad experiences' are. Now, this makes it no less sad and no less of a waste of a life, but I disagree that scaring people away from even daring to talk about drugs is the way to go, much more helpful would be some kind of..drug education or something maybe. People will always take drugs, no matter how much other wish it wasn't so.

Yeah I agree the drug related deaths I've seen in the news this year were to do with kids taking a pill whole and overdosing. Like if they had more education on drugs that could of been avoided.

but yeah this is awful rip <3

I disagree as it could have been a ^legal" high of some sort and they are a lottery.

Don't get me started on legal highs tbh, as this then brings out the 'illegal drugs' are actually safer than 'legal' ones and makes me argue that current 'illegal drugs' should be legalized and controlled...as by doing so people wouldn't experiment with 'legal highs' which are actually understood by medics and such so much less than the likes of cocaine or E is..which in turn would.. make everyone safer. Which is not an opinion that is widely accepted at all and tends to end in flame wars :S

people need to understand that it is criminals that supply illegal drugs. At any stage in the supply chain the drug can be mixed with any type of impurity to make it seems like you are getting more etc. People wouldn't accept that at the chemist, they wouldn't accept that at the supermarket, so why do they risk it for a quick "high". Every time they take something, its a lottery with the possibility of death

Yep, there's some bad **** going around the town I work in at the moment. 3 local "well known" junkies found dead in 6 months from "bad" heroin - one of them just last week. A guy I've been kicking out of the shop on a thrice-weekly for 5+ years :(. I'll never have to shout "**** off you ****ing know that you're barred!" at him again. It genuinely feels weird.

... But yes, anyway, just pointing out that you're right: dealers cut their product with all sorts of nasty crap. It's usually not the drugs that kill in these cases, but whatever drain cleaner or rather poison happens to have been cut into the mix.

Another very common one is people cutting speed in with cocaine, which can end pretty badly.

Dare I say, another argument for legalizing and controlling.

I wholeheartedly agree that drugs should be decriminalised and properly controlled. It's the scum dealers and especially the bastards who ran the head shops that should be hung up in the streets.

And while I'm at it; royal ****ing mail were nothing more than drug curiors when legal highs were obtainable by post.
