Student arrested in drugs raid dies after falling ill in custody

A MATURE student arrested during a drugs raid on his college apartment died yesterday after being held in a garda station cell.

NUI Maynooth college staff were last night reeling from shock after the cannabis and ecstasy find and the 29-year-old’s subsequent death.

Studying his second and final diploma year in community and youth work, the north Dublin man was visited by a neighbourhood friend on Monday night at his university residence.
