Sister of Cork designer drug victim hopes his death serves as warning to others

The sister of the teenager who died after taking a lethal designer drug said his death should serve as a warning to others.

Alex Ryan’s older sister, Nicole, yesterday told the mourners at his funeral Mass in Co Cork how she and her mother, Irena, watched him fight for his life in Cork University Hospital after he took psychoactive stimulant, N-Bomb, at a house party in Cork City last Tuesday.

Alex died on Saturday. He was just 18.
