A CHELMSLEY Wood teenager died after taking ecstasy during a night club's New Year's Eve celebrations, an inquest has heard.
Eighteen-year-old Dylan Booth had taken the tablets at the Rainbow club, in Digbeth, and was rushed to hospital after falling ill the following day. He died on January 3.
Despite initial reports, the police subsequently ruled out the possibility that the ecstasy had been contaminated and it is thought that the teenager either took too high a dose or suffered an adverse reaction.
Assistant Coroner Emma Brown said she believed this was the first time that the teenager had taken drugs
"That was not his lifestyle in any way," she said.
"He was usually a sensible young man but on this night he’d been drinking and took drugs during the excitement of a big night out."
