O2 Academy Bournemouth death: Woman dies after 'drugs incident' at music event

A woman has died following a suspected drug-related incident at an all-night music event.

The 18-year-old went into cardiac arrest at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth shortly before 4:30am on Sunday.

She was taken to Royal Bournemouth Hospital but died later that morning.

Police said her next of kin had been informed.

The night at the 1,800-capacity venue had been hosted by Bristol dance duo My Nu Leng.

Dorset Police said officers were called by the ambulance service at 4:26am after the woman, from the Thames Valley area, was taken ill.

A spokesman said: "Officers are treating the death as suspected drug-related and not suspicious.

"Inquiries are being carried out on behalf of the coroner."
