A promising actor collapsed and died after taking a cocktail of ecstasy and ketamine while visiting a dance festival in Costa Rica, an inquest has heard.

A week into the trip, Joseph Wandera, 27, from Salford, suffered a seizure. He died despite desperate attempts to save him at an apartment in the beach resort of Tamarindo where he had been attending the BPM music festival in January 2022.
