‘I asked what he had taken but he didn’t reply and left the room.’

His friend told her what he had taken and Harry’s condition deteriorated and he was rushed to Exeter’s main hospital, where he died.

His grandmother said he was a ‘happy go lucky boy’ who did not like crowds and prefered online gaming with his friends.

The senior Devon coroner Philip Spinney said Harry’s death was unintentional and an accident.

He recorded a drug related death conclusion.
