A 21-year-old man has become the third person to be charged with a drugs offence after the death of a boy in Fife.
Jake Jones, 16, also known as Jay, fell on last month after attending a party at a house on Kirkland Avenue in Ballingry.
He was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy but was pronounced dead a short time later.
Several other teenagers also required hospital treatment but were later released.

In the days after the death, a 14-year-old boy was charged and released pending further inquiries in connection with the incident.
