A 25-year-old woman who was found dead at a music festival was the first person to die from taking the drug 2C-P, a court has heard.

Louella Fletcher-Michie, the daughter of Holby City actor John Michie, died at the Bestival site in Dorset in September.
Ceon Broughton, 29, is charged with her manslaughter by gross negligence but has not entered any pleas.
The case was adjourned for a pre-trial hearing on 20 July.
Richard Thomas, defending, told Winchester Crown Court: "There have been no deaths from this drug before."
A post-mortem examination revealed Ms Fletcher-Michie died following the use of 2C-P and ketamine and MDMA, an inquest at Bournemouth Coroners' Court heard before it was adjourned until June.

Detectives investigating the death of a woman at Bestival have re-arrested a man.

Just before 1am on Monday 11 September 2017 officers at the event were alerted to reports of a concern for welfare of Louella Eve Fletcher-Michie, 25 and from London, who had attended the festival at Lulworth Castle.

Very sadly, following a search of the area her body was located in a wooded area on the edge of the festival site.

An initial post-mortem examination carried out shortly after her death showed no clear signs of an assault. Further examinations have been carried out, including toxicology tests.

A 28-year-old man from London, who was known to Louella, was previously arrested on suspicion of murder and released under investigation.

Senior Investigating Officer Neil Devoto, of Dorset Police's Major Crime Investigation Team, said: "Detectives have today, Thursday 22 February 2018, re-arrested a man at an address in Enfield in London on suspicion of manslaughter and drug supply offences. He is currently assisting officers with their enquiries.

"Louella's family has been updated with this development."
