West Yorkshire Police has launched an investigation, but it is believed that he had taken a particular type of the MDMA drug.<\/p>\n

Assistant Chief Constable Catherine Hankinson, of West Yorkshire Police, commented: \u201cOur thoughts are with the family of the boy who has died, and we have officers supporting them at this very difficult time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the exact cause of his death is yet to be established, one line of enquiry is that he had taken a particular type of ecstasy (MDMA) tablet, which was described as a grey or black oblong shape.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment in time this is believed to be an isolated incident as we have not received any similar reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsers of any drug which is not professionally prescribed can never be sure of their contents and the risks involved with taking the substance.<\/p>\n

And now his family has opened up about just why the teenager was at the festival \u2013 he was there celebrating his GCSE results.<\/p>\n
