A teenager died after a suspected drug overdose at Leeds Festival, police have confirmed. The 16-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after he suddenly fell ill at the festival, shortly before 10.30pm on Saturday night (August 27).
Sadly, he was pronounced dead on Sunday. West Yorkshire Police believe he may have taken MDMA at the festival and have launched an investigation into his death.
Specialist officers are supporting the young man's family and believe it to be an 'isolated incident' at this time. One line of enquiry police are probing is that the teenager had taken a tablet, which is 'black or grey' and an 'oblong shape' , the Mirror reports.
