ONE Millom man and a Bolton woman remain in critical conditions in hospital following the incident at Kendal Calling music festival which claimed the life of a teenager from the town.

Christian Pay, 18, of Millom, died at the Cumberland Infirmary after being rushed there in a critical condition.

Of the four people admitted to hospital, two people have now been discharged. 

A 19-year-old male from Millom is in a critical condition and a 29-year-old woman from Bolton is in a critical but stable condition. 

Police - who were alerted by hospital staff at about 7am yesterday - have launched an investigation and are supporting the family of Mr Pay.

A 20-year-old man, from Manchester, is one of four people arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs with intent to supply. They have been detained for questioning. 

Drugs that have been seized so far and that may be linked to this incident are: 

· A blue tablet with an Adidas logo.

· A yellow powder, believed to be MDMA.

· An orange oval tablet with a Rolls Royce logo.

· A green tablet with a white fleck.

· A plain grey tablet with a white fleck.

Superintendent Mark Pannone said: “These are just some of the drugs seized. Our advice is simple - do not take any drugs at Kendal Calling 2015.

“It is never safe to take unknown substances as you cannot be sure of what they contain. 

“There is a risk that these substances are on still on site and those attending the festival need to be aware of the potential dangers of taking substances such as these.” 

Police superintendent Justin Bibby said: "This is a very serious incident and people attending the festival need to be aware of the potential dangers of taking such illegal drugs.

"You cannot be sure of what the drug contains and therefore could cause fatal consequences. Please for your own safety do not take any illegal drugs.”

Dr Jane Mathieson, Cumbria County Council Public Health, consultant added: “I’d like to reiterate the police’s advice, these are powerful and dangerous substances which are simply not safe. Do not risk your health by taking any drugs. 

“However, If you are to take drugs our advice is to consume as little as possible. Do not retake substances until you are confident that the effects have worn off. 

“Also do not mix drugs with alcohol or other substances. Stay with friends and make sure you are with at least one sober person. 

“If you or someone you know complains of feeling unwell, please seek medical help.” 

Five ambulances were sent to the festival at Lowther Deer Park, near Penrith. North West Ambulance Service received the call at about 6.40am today.

Festival organisers tweeted this morning: There have been serious drug related casualties requiring hospital treatment. Please take extra care - illegal drugs have unknown contents.

A spokesperson said later: "We are deeply saddened that a male who attended Kendal Calling passed away at Carlisle hospital this morning. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and we are doing everything possible to support the police with their inquiries.”
