The hearing was told Isobel took two pink pills with cherry designs imprinted on them. She also dabbed what she thought was cocaine on to her gums.
Which i guess was Ketamine or Amphetamines since they were also found.
UK student Isobel Jones-Reilly's ecstasy death, academic Brian Dodgeon implicated
The academic whose teenage daughter held a party where a friend died after taking drugs has contributed to a study which claimed cannabis improves the mind.
Brian Dodgeon, 60, is a research fellow at the Institute of Education, part of the University of London.
One American university study with which he assisted last year, Cognition, Cannabis and Wages, concluded there was ‘evidence of a positive and significant relationship between cognitive ability and cannabis use’, despite the wealth of medical evidence that cannabis can have a hugely destructive effect on mental health and wellbeing.
It should be stressed that Mr Dodgeon did not reach the conclusion himself – he was involved only in constructing test data. But to have his name linked to such a study is highly unfortunate in the light of what happened on Good Friday.
Mr Dodgeon’s 14-year-old daughter Beatrice held a party for friends at the family home in North Kensington.
He and his partner Angela Hadjipateras, 54, apparently felt the teenagers were mature enough to be left alone. So they went out apparently intending, some say, to spend the entire weekend away.
At around 4am, 15-year-old Isobel Jones-Reilly suffered a fatal cardiac arrest after apparently taking ecstasy. Beatrice and two teenage boys, who are also said to have taken illegal substances, were also taken to hospital.

Police seized ecstasy, amphetamines, LSD and ketamine from the house. The mystery is where the drugs could have come from. According to some reports, Beatrice suggested to her friends that they search for cannabis which she believed her father had somewhere about the house and the teenagers apparently found a stash of drugs in a bedroom drawer.
Mr Dodgeon was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs and child abandonment, though later released. His partner has been interviewed under caution. So far, however, no charges have been brought and it is, of course, quite possible that the drugs were taken to the house by one of the teenagers and the story was invented to avoid their getting into trouble with the police.
Whatever the truth, on Wednesday Mr Dodgeon was suspended from his research post. He and his partner have spent most of the week at their daughter’s hospital bedside. Police sources say Beatrice and the other two boys, Jamal Clarke and Harry Barton, both 14, are being kept under observation in case of adverse reaction to the drugs.
Beatrice’s parents are going through hell. Yet most would argue that leaving a houseful of teenagers alone at night, was, at best, misguided. Certainly Eustace Harewood, whose 14-year-old daughter Tasha was at the party, was horrified to learn the children had been left unsupervised. ‘Had I known there would be no adults present, I would never have let my daughter go there,’ he told the Mail. 'Apparently they had gone away for the weekend, leaving a neighbour to keep an eye out.’
Mr Dodgeon does not fit the stereotype of the quiet, introverted academic. He teaches the Alexander Technique (a method of learning to use your body in a way that subjects it to less unnecessary stress and tension) in a downstairs room at the family home.
He also likes to DJ in his spare time, playing Sixties and blues music in the pubs around Notting Hill and is a keen dancer ‘in the tradition of Anna Halprin’s San Francisco Dancer’s Workshop’. 'Brian is very sociable,’ says a friend. ‘I’ve been to quite a few of his parties but I’ve never seen any drugs there. You might see the odd guy staggering around but that would be from alcohol like at any party.
'He’s a liberal guy, like most from the Notting Hill area, but I’m surprised to hear the children were left alone. I suppose it is the parental dilemma. It used to be how much freedom do you give them when they are 16 and 17, now it’s 14 and 15.’
Mr Dodgeon’s partner was born in New York to Greek parents. She works for ACORD, an organisation to promote social justice and equality in sub-Saharan Africa. Her twin sister Aikaterini, now known as the actress Kathryn Hunter, appeared in the film Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix as Harry’s neighbour, Arabella Figg.
So what do we know about the tragic events that took place in Brian and Angela’s home on Good Friday? Early that evening, a woman believed to be Miss Hadjipateras informed neighbours there might

be a bit of noise in the house as there was going to be a party. About 20 youngsters arrived to watch television and drink alcohol.
Isobel Jones-Reilly was among them. Issy, as she was known, lived with her parents, Lynne Jones and Patrick Reilly, in Acton, West London, and attended Chiswick Community School.
A YouTube video tribute shows her smoking what appears to be a marijuana joint; in other pictures she is drinking from a can of Strongbow cider, in another a large glass of wine.
Issy had become addicted to social networking websites. On some of them, she claimed to be 21. On one she wrote of her life: ‘It’s drugs, it’s sex, it’s family and every minute I make mistakes.’
Teachers are said to have noticed that she had become increasingly fixated on internet accounts of celebrity drug-taking.
Mr Dodgeon’s friends have expressed disbelief that the drugs in the house might have belonged to him. Wherever they came from, one boy at the party reportedly urged the others not to take the pills because no one knew what was in them but ‘they had been drinking heavily and wouldn’t listen’.
Issy is thought to have taken two ecstasy pills. The same boy who had begged her not to take them found her foaming at the mouth and crying that she was ‘burning up’. At around 4am, she suffered heart failure and stopped breathing. The boy phoned 999 and tried to resuscitate the girl, following instructions from the operator on the phone. But by then it was too late.
Might it all have turned out differently if Beatrice’s parents hadn’t taken the fateful decision to leave her alone with her friends? It is a question which will surely haunt all those involved in this tragic tale for ever.
