A 19-year-old man died of total organ failure after taking a number of so-called "ecstasy bombs" at the Indiependence music festival campsite near Mitchelstown, a coroner's court has heard.

Cork City Coroner's Court heard that friends of Clonmel teenager Jack Downey saw him ingest ecstasy rocks wrapped up in cigarette rolling papers on the early afternoon of August 2, 2019, just days after obtaining the illegal substances for the first time, and not long after arriving at the campsite.
