tragedy at Leeds Festival as 16-year-old lad passes away after “popping grey or black MDMA tablet”

Police believe a 16-year-old kid may have used a “grey or black” ecstasy pill at Leeds Festival on Saturday night since he passed away today.

West Yorkshire Police have opened an inquiry into the teen’s death, which is thought to have been caused by narcotics.

On Saturday night at 10:16, police were contacted and notified that a 16-year-old guy had been transported to the medical tent after becoming unwell.

He was rushed to the hospital, but sadly he passed away on Sunday. His parents are aware.

West Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Catherine Hankinson said:

We have police assisting the boy’s family through this very trying time, and our thoughts are with them.

While the precise cause of his death has not yet been determined, one line of inquiry is that he may have consumed a certain kind of ecstasy (MDMA) pill, which was described as having an oblong form and being grey or black.

Currently, it is assumed that this was a unique incidence since there haven’t been any complaints of anything comparable.

Users of drugs that are not medically prescribed by a physician may never be certain of their contents or the hazards associated with taking the substance.

Anyone who feels unwell after using any drug should get help right once.

“We are carefully coordinating with the event organizers and are continuing to make inquiries on the ground.”

On social media, police issued a call for anybody with knowledge on the tragedy to come forward.
