'My son's vomiting was put down to a hangover - the next day he was dead'

The family of a 'kind' and 'loving' man who suffered a heart attack after chronic cannabis use have spoken of their heartache following his sudden death.

Joshua Kerfoot, from Bury, became unwell and started vomiting after a Friday night out in October last year. Paramedics attended after Josh's sickness continued throughout the weekend and into the Monday - but told concerned mum Angela that her son was just suffering from a hangover.
