Probe after woman’s death linked to mephedrone

THE family of a 24-year-old woman whose death police have linked to the party drug mephedrone yesterday paid tribute to a “really lovely girl”.

Lois Waters’s body was found on Monday at an address in the village of Norton, North Yorkshire.

Detective Chief Inspector Nigel Costello, who is leading the inquiry, said family and friends have told him she had been taking the drug in the 48-hour period leading up to her death, possibly with other substances.
