Three face charges after tragic drug death at house party

Three people are facing criminal charges after it was confirmed a teenager died after taking the powerful psycho-stimulant drug N-Bomb at a house party in Cork City this year.

Cork City Coroner’s court was told yesterday the DPP has directed that charges be brought against three individuals following the Garda investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Alex Ryan, 18, in January, days after he consumed the drug.
