The boyfriend of the daughter of the Holby City actor "filmed while she was overdosing at the festival" – lawsuit

The daughter of actor John Michie of Holby City was filmed by her boyfriend while she was doing a drug overdose at a music festival, a court said.

Louon Fletcher-Michie, 24, received the drug from her occasional boyfriend Ceon Broughton, 29, and died while her parents rushed to help her, one would have learned.

She took the A drug party 2-CP course in Bestival, Dorset on September 10, 2017, and died in the forest an hour before her 25th birthday.

Her parents rushed to the site after phoning Broughton to evoke an overdose of Mrs. Fletcher-Michie and heard her "cringe," she heard.

However, Broughton insisted that she was fine and called Mrs. Fletcher-Michie "queen of drama," the jurors heard.

Broughton, of Enfield, in North London, denies manslaughter and supplied Mrs. Fletcher-Michie.

Attorney William Mousley, QC, said that Broughton had not received any help because he had been sentenced to a suspended prison sentence a month earlier and feared the consequences.

He said: "She died as a result of a high dose of Clbad A drug, later described by the accused as an overdose, known as 2-CP, that he had given him at a music festival. "

Mr. Mousley added, "This had a terrible effect on her, resulting in her death after a long period of suffering in the woods near the festival site, which he had to observe every day".

The jurors heard Broughton film Mrs. Fletcher-Michie, a dancer and yoga teacher, as her condition worsened.

In clips viewed in court, she repeatedly shouts to Broughton to call her mother, Carol Fletcher-Michie, but this one tells her to "tidy up her phone".

Carol Fletcher-Michie finally contacted Broughton at 6:48 pm and heard her daughter scream.

Mr Mousley said: "She told her husband that they had to join her and they left everything to go from North London to Dorset."

His brother Sam also contacted Broughton and invited him to see a doctor.

But Broughton sent Sam a message saying "reminder in an hour" and called Ms. Fletcher-Michie "queen of the drama," said the jury.

The jurors told Broughton that Sam had also received 2-CP.

When Sam then asked if Mrs. Fletcher-Michie had taken 2-CP, Broughton told her, "Yes, but I have a little slapped."

Mr. Mousley said Sam thought it meant "either a higher dose or a combination of it with other drugs."

Broughton also admitted to having provided the drug to Ms. Fletcher-Michie and her friend at the Glastonbury Festival in June 2017, the jury said.

After Mr. Michie arrived at the festival site at Lulworth Castle, he sent a message to Broughton asking him if he had asked for medical help, Mr. Mousley said.

Carol Fletcher-Michie also sent a message saying, "Please, message me that Louella is fine."

Mr Mousley added: "In addition, during this long period of time together, he filmed it several times.

"He filmed her while she was disturbed, agitated and then seriously ill for several hours.

"He even did, suggests the prosecution, while she was apparently dead."

One month prior to the incident, Broughton was sentenced to a 24-week suspended jail sentence, the jury said.

Mr. Mousley said, "His failure to get life-saving treatment was due to his egoism and his preservation.

"Because he acted positively and acted otherwise, he knew that he would have exposed him to the possibility of being arrested and prosecuted for a criminal offense punishable by imprisonment." . "

Mrs. Fletcher-Michie was found dead around 1 am, in a wooded environment, 400 meters from the tent of the festival hospital.

Post mortem examination revealed "2-CP toxicity" and traces of ketamine and MDMA.

Mr Mousley said that a medical expert, Professor Charles Deakin, had estimated "90%" chances of survival with early intervention.

The jurors told Ms. Fletcher-Michie that she was using party drugs, including 2-CP and MDMA, and had tried to take Bestival pills that had been confiscated by Security.

She told Broughton, who had gone to the event separately, and he replied "that he would bring some," said the jury.

Stephen Kamlish QC, in defense, stated that Broughton and Mrs. Fletcher-Michie "were in love with each other" and "with a soul mate".

He said: "Experts will tell you that no one has ever succumbed to taking this medication (2-CP) or overdose."

Ms. Fletcher-Michie herself had acquired 2-CP, he said, adding, "It is not manslaughter."

The trial continues.
