The heartbroken sister of a teenager who died after a house party in Fife has issued a grave drugs warning to other youngsters.
Jake Jones, 16, passed away after a number of people reportedly took ill at a property in Kirkland Avenue, Ballingry, at around 11.55am on Sunday. He was rushed to the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, but tragically pronounced dead a short time later.
Following the devastating news, his sister Francesca Louise has revealed that Jake had taken his "first ever pill" at the party as she pleads with other young people not to feel pressurised into trying drugs.
Francesca, 18, said: "This was Jake's first time taking a pill. He took it without knowing what it was, what was in it or what it would do to him. Other people were doing it and he didn't want to look like the bad one, so he took it.
"An ambulance was called for him a few hours later and he was rushed to hospital. They tried to do treatment on him but he passed away."
Tearing up, Francesca, who lives in Liverpool added: "I was on the phone to him earlier that morning and he was laughing and joking, then the next day I got a call to tell me he had died.
"He was my baby brother. He was only 16 and he has lost his life in the blink of an eye. I just want everyone to be aware of the dangers of taking drugs. Don't touch them. Jake is dead because of one horrible mistake."
Jake, who is originally from St Helens, near Liverpool, had recently been put into care in Scotland. Francesca explained how the pair were inseparable after growing up in the system together and that his death has left her "broken".
Paying tribute to her brother, she said: "Jake was such an amazing, special and bubbly person. He had a heart of gold. He had a lot of friends and family who
