Lennix Hughes, 16, was rushed to Ninewells Hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

At the time, police said they were treating her death as unexplained.

On Friday, three men aged 18, 19 and 35, were arrested and charged with drug offences in connection with the death, police confirmed.
