Teen girl 'spiked' at Leeds Festival 'nearly died' after suffering four-minute seizure

Festival goer Maria Mendes, 17, was in her tent in one of the campsites on Saturday, August 27, when she had an alcoholic drink with her friends before going into the main arena.

The music lover said she then only had water while watching the acts on stage - but then suddenly "everything went black".
