A MEMORIAL bench marking the life of 15 year old Leah Heyes is to be unveiled in her home town. The memorial presentation for Leah will take place in the Applegarth Park in Northallerton on Saturday, July 3. It has been organised by her mum Kerry Roberts, who will be joined by family, friends, and North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Allot to commemorate Leah’s death. Kerry says she wants the strong message to be conveyed to Leah’s generation that taking drugs can result in tragedy and that what happened to Leah is a reality. The teenager died in May 2019 after taking two bombs of ecstasy, also known as MDMA, which had been supplied by two local teenagers. She collapsed in the Applegarth park, and desperate attempts were made to save her by paramedics, but she died later in hospital.
