Tributes have been paid to a teenager who died at a party after taking an illegal drug.
18-year-old Charlie Barker, from the Wrecclesham area of Farnham, died on Sunday morning after taking an unknown substance at a party at Chobham Common.
Police inquiries since indicate that the substance Charlie took could have been sold as the illegal Class A drug 2C-1 or 2C-E.
In a statement released through Surrey Police, Charlie's mother Trudy Barker paid tribute to her son.
"Charlie, even as a child, was confident and warm, in adulthood he grew to become a thoughtful, artistic and caring young man. He worked hard at the fish and chip shop while studying at Farnham College".
"Both at his place of work and at college he was loved by all, his smile lit up any room he entered. Everyone who met Charlie was touched by his thoughtfulness and caring attitude towards others".
"As a family we are lost without him, our hearts are broken. He will never be forgotten and will live on in the hearts of all he became dear to."
The cause of Charlie's death could not be established through a post-mortem so toxicology tests will now be conducted.
A 20-year-old man from Gloucester and an 18-year-old woman from Farnham were arrested earlier this week and bailed on suspicion of manslaughter and supplying controlled drugs.
