Tributes paid to teen who died of suspected drug death

The family of a teenager who died after taking what's believed to be the drug MDMA say he "paid a price completely out of proportion".

Luke Campbell-Tapson is thought to have taken the drug at a youth disco in Ilfracombe.

He was admitted to North Devon District Hospital on Friday night - but died in the early hours of Saturday May 27.

His family have paid an emotional tribute to the 16-year-old, calling him a "wonderful, kind, talented young man".

Two other people were also admitted to Plymouth's Derriford Hospital over the weekend after taking a recreational drug at a house party on Friday night; both remain in hospital and one in a serious condition.

Police believe that all three had taken what they thought to have been MDMA tablets.
