Pills Linked To Teenager's Death In Warwickshire

Police have warned people about the dangers of taking illegal drugs after a teenager was found dead at his home in Warwickshire.

He was discovered at his house in Nuneaton on 31 May.

It is unknown whether the drugs contributed to the teenagers death.

The pills are described as a round, reddish/pink colour with a logo similar to the one used by Creamfields festival.

Detective Sergeant James Coleman said: "It is not only illegal to buy and sell drugs but can also be very dangerous, and potentially fatal.

Police are appealing for information.
