Five deaths in Essex were linked to the strength of a batch of cocaine and heroin. Public Health England advises drug users to ‘test a small amount first’ and not to take drugs alone.
Cian Daley, 20, was one of five who died. People are being warned to test their drugs after the deaths were linked to the purity of the substances
Further tests have been commissioned to find out more about the exact strength of the drugs, with results expected in the coming week, police said. On July 30, a woman in her 40s died in Canvey Island, and a man in his 20s was found dead in Benfleet. A sixth death initially suspected of being linked to class A drug use is now being treated as a potential medical episode following toxicology tests.
