'BAD ECSTASY' FEARS AFTER CLUBBER DIES
Police have issued a warning about a suspected bad batch of ecstasy after a 28-year-old man died and two became ill.
The man who died collapsed in the Astoria nightclub on Charing Cross Road, London, in the early hours and died about an hour later in University College Hospital.
A 23-year-old man also went to University College Hospital after feeling ill at the nightclub. His condition is now stable.
And a third man who was found collapsed in nearby Falconberg Mews was later discharged from the hospital.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Taylor said: "We are concerned that these three incidents may be linked and there may be 'bad drugs' in circulation in the West End."
He urged anyone who may have bought or taken ecstasy in the area of the Astoria nightclub recently to contact police.
"If there are bad drugs in circulation in the West End our primary concern is that nobody else becomes ill from consuming them. If anyone does feel they have been adversely affected they should seek medical advice immediately.
