David Celino, 16, died in hospital after taking MDMA at Leeds Festival last year.
David Celino became ill at Leeds Festival on 27 August last year and died the next morningTeenagers attending Leeds Festival next week have been urged to beware of drugs following the death of a 16-year-old boy at last year's event.His father, Gianpiero Celino, told an inquest in Wakefield he feared the event was not safe for under-18s.
Mr Celino previously told the inquest that the "ticket that signals the death of another young person has already been sold"."I hope every young person attending the festival does not take the risk that they are the person holding that dreadful ticket," Mr McLoughlin said. He issued a report that warned there was a risk of future deaths, and said he was concerned about under-18s being allowed at the festival without an accompanying adult.
The timing of the festival, which begins on the day GCSE results are released, could create an "atmosphere of excitement" and make under-18s more vulnerable, Ms Barlow added.
