The father of a man who is fighting for his life after taking drugs that killed his friend has pleaded with gardai to catch the dealers.
Simon Lynch (22) was on a life-support machine in hospital last night just hours after his close friend Oisin Crawford (22) was found dead at a house party.
Ambulances raced to a house in St Johnston, Co Donegal, just after 4.30am yesterday following reports that five people at a birthday party had taken ill.
The HSE said it believed the party-goers may have taken an ecstasy-type drug known as 'Double Cross' or 'Double Black'.
Tragic Oisin died in the house while Simon, two other men and an 18-year-old woman were rushed to Letterkenny General Hospital for treatment.
