Mum's heartbreaking tribute to 'amazing' son who drowned after taking drugs

The mum of a teenager who drowned in a lake fears she won't find out how her son died after a coroner revealed he lacked sufficient evidence to establish how he ended up in the water.

Samson Price's body was found in Westwood Flash in Wigan on October 4, 2020. An inquest heard that the 18-year-old told his parents that he was going fishing with his two cousins - Logan Liptrot and Patrick Brown - when he left home the previous afternoon.

However, the trio instead decided to camp by the lake to take bromoamphetamine, an "LSD-like substance", the inquest at Bolton Coroner's Court heard yesterday (May 3), reports the Manchester Evening News.
