A Cork Coroner's inquest into the death of Jack Downey, from Clonmel, heard that the Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) student died from total organ failure despite the efforts of doctors to stabilise his condition.
Jack, a first- year accountancy
student, died on 5 August, three days after falling ill at the
popular festival.
Assistant State Pathologist Dr
Bolster told the court that the cause of death was total organ failure due
to hyperthermia after the ingestion of ecstasy, metamphetamine and morphine.
The inquest was adjourned by Coroner
Philip Comyn after medical evidence was heard, as the Garda investigation
into the teenager's death remains ongoing.
He adjourned the hearing until
20 August.
