Clubber in `ecstasy death'

A post-mortem examination is to be carried out today on a 28-year- old man who collapsed and died after apparently taking ecstasy.

The man, from Cambridge, had been out with friends at the White House Club in Newmarket, Suffolk, when he collapsed early yesterday. A police spokesman said: "At this stage we do not know what caused the death. We must, however, work on the assumption that drugs may have played a part."

Staff and clubgoers were being questioned in an effort to find out what happened. The coroner has been informed and an inquest will be held.
