The heartbroken dad of a schoolgirl who died after taking ecstasy has warned music fans not to experiment with drugs at TRNSMT this weekend. Festivalgoers will be searched and anyone found to be in possession of suspected drugs will be refused entry.
Stewart Handling, whose daughter Grace passed away, aged just 13, after taking ecstasy on her last day of the school year has urged young revellers to be careful at this year’s event. Stewart, from Irvine, said: “If it happened to Grace, it can happen to anyone. Don’t think you’re immortal.
“You take these substances that are made by the absolute dregs of society, making pills filled with rat poison and other dangerous chemicals. They are making these for profit, are mass-producing them and don’t care what happens to the people who take them.
