A mother has been found guilty of joining her 15-year-old son in a drugs binge just hours before the schoolboy died from an overdose.<\/p>\n

Holly Strawbridge, 35, shared powerful painkillers with her son, Tyler Peck, and his friend in her kitchen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The mother-of-five \u2013 accused of wanting to be a “cool parent” \u2013 poured liquid morphine into their beer and gave them strips of a powerful painkiller at her home in the upmarket town of Salcombe, Devon, in February. Tyler\u2019s friends told police the house had become a “place to get hammered”.<\/p>\n

On the night of the tragedy, Strawbridge gave the two 15-year-olds spirits and powerful painkillers that had been prescribed to her. They also sniffed aerosols together, Plymouth Crown Court heard. Tyler, who had a history of drink and drug abuse, died in his sleep hours later.<\/p>\n

His friend, who cannot be named for legal reasons, described waking up to find his best friend lifeless, describing the situation as \u2018all f***** up\u2019. He told police they\u2019d had a mixture of beer, peach schnapps, aerosol fumes, morphine, Valium, codeine and a powerful painkiller called Gabapentin.<\/p>\n
