A drug dealer is facing Christmas in prison after admitting he supplied the MDMA which led to the death of tragic teen Josh Oliver.

Jack Pointer, also known as Jack Church, pleaded guilty when he appeared at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday.

The 19-year-old, of Hill View Road, Whitstable, will be sentenced on December 21 and faces jail time for dealing a class A drug.

An inquest into Josh's death heard that he went into convulsions at a house in Whitstable on December 29.

Margate Coroner’s Court heard that Pointer was identified as the man who supplied the MDMA, also known as ecstasy.

Det Con Martin Williams told the hearing on Tuesday that Pointer was listed in Josh’s mobile phone as “Jack Dealer”.

Josh’s girlfriend Molly Smith-Lawson also identified Pointer as the man who she believed had given Josh the drugs.

Molly told the inquest that she and Josh had gone to her house Saddleton Road and “bombed” the MDMA – a method of taking it which involves wrapping the powder form of the drug in a cigarette paper in swallowing it.

She said they had both taken it, but she and two other friends at the house that day soon became concerned about Josh.

Later he started fitting and paramedics were called. Josh was lying on Molly’s bed with his top off.

Paramedic Catherine Tremble said: “Upon arrival at the house, I went straight upstairs and found Josh in full cardiac arrest."Josh had been fitting for about 45 minutes. He was later taken downstairs and taken to hospital.”The ambulance took Josh to the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital in Margate where he was pronounced dead.

A post-mortem showed that Josh had died of MDMA poisoning.

Coroner Ian Goldup recorded a verdict of death related to drugs.

Josh was a pupil at the Community College Whitstable and had previously studied at Canterbury High in years 7 and 8.

He lived on a five-acre former farm in Dargate, where his family keep animals.
