A teenager who wasn’t a regular drug user played “Russian roulette” and died after taking ‘bombs’ of ecstasy at the Indiependence music festival in Mitchelstown, Co Cork, an inquest has heard.
Coroner Philip Comyn presided over the inquest of Jack Downey, 19, of Ard Chaoin in Clonmel, Co Tipperary who passed away on August 5, 2019 at Cork University Hospital (CUH) having been rushed there by ambulance three days earlier.
Mr Comyn told an inquest in Cork that the death was a tragedy which occurred when Jack, likes many youths of his age, decided to “dabble” with drugs.
