The mum of a 13-year-old who died after being found unconscious in a park has put out a plea to find out who "sold" drugs to her son.

Carson Price, from Hengoed , has been named by police as the teenager who died in Ystrad Mynach park on Friday night.

Gwent Police say they are treating the boy’s death as unexplained, but are focusing on "illegal substances being a contributing factor".

"He was the best big brother and was loved and will be missed by so many.”

Detective Chief Inspector Sam Payne said, "Although we await official medical confirmation of the cause of death, one of our main lines of enquiry focuses on illegal substances being a contributing factor.
