  • A 15-year-old has died after being taken ill at last weekend's ill-fated rave in South London. Though police are yet to reveal the boy's identity, they told the BBC they've notified his next of kin. He was admitted to hospital in the early hours of Sunday, June 15th, and died on Monday. Six other people who were taken ill at the event have been discharged. A 19-year-old man remains in hospital in a stable condition. As reported yesterday, an illegal party in East Croydon on Saturday, June 14th, saw a number of injuries and arrests. The party, which took place in a disused post office on Cherry Orchard Road, was attended by around 1,300 people. Latest police reports reveal that 14 people have been arrested in relation to the event. Photo credit: Vicky Stewart
