Girl died after one ecstasy tablet

The assistant state pathologist has warned about the dangers of ecstasy after the death of a woman who took one tablet at the Electric Picnic music festival.

“Everybody who takes a tablet takes the risk,” Dr Margaret Bolster said after giving evidence in the second ecstasy-related inquest in Cork in a month.

“One person can take two or three tablets and feel grand. Others can take just one and it can be lethal.”
