A man and a youth from Essex have been charged with drugs offences after muscle-building drugs were linked to the death of a teenager.

Matthew Dear, 17, of Southend, died on 20 April after taking a course of anabolic steroids.

Essex Police said a 21-year-old man has been charged with being concerned in the offer to supply a class C drug.

A 17-year-old boy has been charged with possessing anabolic steroids with intent to supply.

Both are from Westcliff and have been bailed to appear before Southend magistrates later this month.

A 25-year-old man who had also been arrested has been released from his bail with no further action to be taken against him, police added.
