Girl, 10, may have died from five Ecstasy pills

A 10-YEAR-OLD girl who died after swallowing what was believed to have been Ecstasy, may have taken five of the tablets, it emerged yesterday.

If toxicology tests reveal Jade Slack took Ecstasy, she will be the youngest victim of the dance drug in the UK.

An expert on the Class A substance said if a youngster took five Ecstasy pills, its effects would be up to 10 times stronger than a similar dose would have on an adult.
