An accountant died after allegedly taking legal high GBL at a wake for a friend - who is thought to have been killed by the same lethal party drug.

Aston Martin worker Carl Fearon, 24, was found dead at his flat in Birmingham at 1pm on Saturday and Lynette Nock, 28, died hours later at her home in Northfield.

Mother-of-one Miss Nock died at a memorial party for Mr Fearon held at her home at 9pm the same day.

Two other men were also found unconscious at the address and were taken to hospital for emergency treatment. One is believed to still be in intensive care, while the other man has been discharged.

Post-mortem and toxicology tests were due to take place today on the bodies of Mr Fearon, from Smethwick, and Miss Nock, from Streetly.
