A teenager whose vigil spiralled into riots that saw burning cars sent rolling down a hill was killed by drugs, an inquest heard.
Ethan Powell, 19, collapsed at his grandparents' home and was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead in May.
Friends of Ethan gathered for a vigil in Mayhill, Swansea, supposedly in tribute to Ethan before it descended into chaos.
