A clubber has died and five others have been taken to hospital after taking a suspected 'bad batch of drugs' at one of Manchester's biggest club nights.
The 30-year-old man collapsed at the Warehouse Project in Trafford in the early hours of this morning.
Five others were also admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary at around 4:30am after taking a drug, believed to be ecstasy, at the same venue.
An investigation has been launched and inquiries are ongoing, Greater Manchester Police have confirmed.
Detective inspector Aaron Duggan said: 'It is possible that there may be a particularly bad batch of drugs out there in the community and that is a concern to us.
'If you attended the Warehouse Project last night and are feeling unwell, I would ask you to go to hospital for a check-up as soon as possible.'
He added: 'I would always urge people not to take illegal drugs and remind them that you do not know what they have been made up with.
'They can contain poisons and illicit chemicals that can have potentially fatal effects.'
A spokesperson for the venue said: 'Everyone at The Warehouse Project are devastated about the news and our condolences are with his family.
'We are assisting the police with their ongoing inquiries surrounding the circumstances of the man's death.
'The Warehouse Project operates a zero tolerance policy with regards to drugs, however if you have taken something and start to feel unwell please tell a member of staff.'
