Tragedy as man overdosed on pal's legal drugs

Damien O'Reilly offered his friend pills, which contributed to his death.

Damien O'Reilly told his friend he had pregabalin and amitriptyline - both of which have a sedative effect - to assist him.

Leeds Crown Court also heard that the victim was found lifeless the next day and declared deceased after O'Reilly had dialled 999.

O'Reilly, 43, admitted a charge of supplying a Class C drug.
