Charity worker's mother: 'Drugs destroy people's lives'

The parents of Stroud charity worker Nick Bonnie, who died after collapsing at a Manchester nightclub, have paid tribute to their 'beautiful' son.

The death of the 30 year old, who worked for The Prince's Trust, is suspected to be drugs related. His mother Pauline Bonnie, a drugs rehabilitation worker, has appealed for people to avoid illegal substances.

She has been speaking to ITV News' Dan Rivers..

We don't want anyone to go through what we're going through now basically - if anybody's thinking or offered or believes that it's a good thing to take drugs it isn't.

Drugs destroy people's lives, the impact it's having for our family is a permanent one, and I don't think we'll never get over it...he was a special boy."

– Pauline Bonnie
