Greek police explore possibility of drink spiking after death of Dublin teens

Police on the Greek island of Ios say they are not ruling out the possibility that drinks were spiked before the deaths of two Irish Leaving Cert students.

Popular Dublin students Andrew O’Donnell (18) and Max Wall (18) were marking the end of their Leaving Certificate exams with around 90 of their classmates on the island of Ios - when they both died in separate tragic incidents over the weekend.
Tragic Andrew was discovered dead after appearing to fall off a cliff while Max was discovered unresponsive in the port area on Sunday.

Now police on the island say they cannot rule out the possibility that drinks were spiked - but they say that no evidence of criminality has been discovered yet, and that the post-mortem examinations of both men will ultimately determine the course of the investigation.

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Brigadier Thanos Loukas, head of the regional police department, said a full scale inquiry was underway. “We have no reason to believe that any criminality is involved but at this stage we are not ruling out anything.”
