The devastated family of a teenager who died following a house party last week say his death has left them 'utterly
lost'.
Ben Walters, aged 18, was found lying next to a 28-year-old woman from
Berkhamsted, who is still fighting for her life in hospital, at Priory Court, Berkhamsted, last Tuesday evening.
The Amersham and Wycombe College student's cause of death is unconfirmed. An inquest was opened and adjourned on Thursday and is pending toxicology and histology results.
Police have arrested six people on drug charges including four teenagers from Berkhamsted and Tring for suspicion of possession of
drugs. They have all been bailed until March.
A 59-year-old man from North London and a 20- year-old man from Bucks
were also was arrested on suspicion of selling drugs.
They were both given bail until March.
Mr Walters' funeral will take place on Monday at 2pm, St Peter's Church in Berkhamsted and will be followed by committal at Kingshill Cemetery at 3pm and wake at the Boat.
In lieu of flowers the family asks donations be made to Berkhamsted Youth Theatre (BYT).
