A young woman who died of a suspected drugs overdose in the early hours of Monday morning has been named locally as 18-year-old Courtney Chamberlain.
Police were called to the Leeds-based nightclub ‘The Warehouse’ at 3.18am on Bank Holiday Monday after being contacted by staff at Leeds General Infirmary, reporting an 18-year-old girl had collapsed at the nightclub and subsequently taken into the hospital.
She was pronounced dead a short time later.
It is thought she had ingested MDMA and suffered a cardiac arrest.
Speaking on the death of the young woman, Detective Inspector Amanda Wimbles of Leeds CID, said: “Taking illegal substances is incredibly dangerous and I would urge anyone considering doing so to think twice before doing so.
“We are supporting the family of the deceased.”
