Man dies of 'suspected drugs overdose' at Manchester Academy
A man died as a result of a suspected drugs overdose at a music venue in Manchester, police said.
The 30-year-old was admitted to the Manchester Royal Infirmary shortly before 04:30 GMT on Sunday after becoming ill at the Academy in Oxford Road.
He died the next day and police have launched an investigation into his death and the origins of the drugs.
More tests are expected after a post-mortem examination proved inconclusive.
Det Insp Ian Cottrell, of Greater Manchester Police, said: "While we are keeping an open mind, we suspect that drugs are a factor in this man's death.
"I want to reassure his friends and family as well as the wider community that we have launched an investigation to establish exactly what happened."
Manchester Academy is a live music venue at the University of Manchester Students' Union.
