Police 'concerned' for others after teens ecstasy death
Police are concerned other people may have taken the same drug that killed a 19-year-old girl on a night out.
Police have issued a drugs alert after a 19-year-old female was found dead in a city centre hotel after taking ecstasy on a night out.
The teenagers body was discovered on Saturday morning at around 6am and police were called to ApartHotel shortly afterwards.
Greater Manchester Police are now concerned about any others who may have taken the pills. They're encouraging anyone who may have done, to seek medical attention immediately.
Superintendent Stephen Howard said:
: “This is a tragic situation, the death of a young person is always devastating, but in these circumstances, it is all the more heart breaking. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.
“Sadly, we know it is very unlikely that the girl was the only person to have taken this drug last night.
“We are appealing to anyone who may have taken ecstasy, to get checked out. Even if you took it some hours ago, this pill will still be in your system and could be seriously harming your health.
“Anyone with any information about what happened or where this drug may have come from should contact police as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
