Doherty held in drugs probe

ROCK star Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of supplying drugs following the death of heiress Robin Whitehead.

The Babyshambles star, 31, was one of four people questioned following the death of the 27-year-old filmmaker.

The body of Ms Whitehead, granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine, was discovered at a flat in Hackney, east London, on January 24 after paramedics answered a 999 call.

She died from a suspected drug overdose.

Doherty was arrested in connection with the inquiry on Friday.

Two other men, aged 41 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug.
