Drug warning as man fights for life after friend dies

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.
