Central coast teenager Alex Ross-King, 19, on Saturday evening was rushed from the Fomo festival at Parramatta park to Westmead hospital, where she subsequently died. Police and NSW Health believe the teenager ingested substances before her death although a post-mortem and toxicology examination will confirm details. Grandmother Denise Doig on Sunday said Gladys Berejiklian should introduce pill-testing immediately so other families would not suffer like hers. It’s not hard [and], if it saves one life, one life is a life.”Five people have now died in four months after taking drugs at NSW festivals. The NSW premier, Gladys Berejiklian, said news of every young person dying to drugs “tears [her] to shreds”.
