Police probe drugs link after death of Creamfields reveller

Police are investigating whether drugs played a part in the death of a man who's thought to have been attending the Creamfields Festival.

Ambulance crews were called earlier today to a hotel near Widnes after a guest complained of respiratory problems.

The 22-year-old, who has not been named, was taken to Whiston Hospital where his condition deteriorated and he died a short time later.

It's believed he'd been at Creamfields and Cheshire Police say they're looking into the circumstances.

A spokeswoman said: "The cause of the man's death at this time is presently being treated as unexplained, including whether the man's death is in any way drug related."

The force said a post mortem examination will take place to determine the cause of death.

The deceased's next of kin have been informed.
