BREAKING: Girl dies in Sheffield after taking MDMA

Another remains critical in hospital


A 22-year-old woman, who is yet to be named, has sadly died after taking what is believed to be MDMA.

We reported yesterday that two women had been taken to hospital after falling ill in the Glossop Road area yesterday morning at around 5.50 am.

Another 20-year-old woman remains in a critical condition in hospital.

It’s thought the girls were on separate nights out in the city, and last night, the Student’s Union cancelled the last Roar of the year in light of the news.
