A 29-year-old man who died after what police think was a severe reaction to taking MDMA has been named.

Ashleigh Thomas Green was taken from an address in St Helier to intensive care but died in the early hours of Monday morning.

A 44-year-old woman and 28-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply after a large amount of cannabis resin and MDMA was found at the scene.

They've been released on bail while investigations continue.

A post-mortem examination was carried out last week.

An inquest into his death is due to be opened next Tuesday (27th August).
