The 17 year old was also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class A drugs. All three have been released on conditional bail.
Josh was taken to York hospital by ambulance in the early hours of Sunday 27 September 2020, where he died later that day after having taken illegal drugs.
Josh and his friend left an address on Fulford Road around 3.10-3.15am and from there they walked down Fulford Road towards town, they then double back slightly and went down Broadway West.
The two boys then walked back on to Fulford Road, where they met a female friend near to the junction of Maple Grove.
