And a 14-year-old boy from Bournemouth has now been arrested on suspicion of supplying a controlled drug of class A – and is helping officers with their enquiries.

Dorset Police are probing Mehmet’s last moments and have appealed to anyone who might have seen him on his bike yesterday afternoon.

Detective Inspector Neil Third, of Dorset Police, said: “This is a very tragic incident with such a young life being lost and my thoughts go out to Mehmet’s family and friends.

“Officers are making enquiries into the circumstances of Mehmet’s death. A post-mortem examination has not yet taken place, but we currently suspect that he died of a drugs overdose.

“We believe that Mehmet went out with his bike for a while between approximately 12.10pm and 1.45pm. The bike is described as an orange/red mountain bike with two different types of wheels.

“I am hoping that somebody saw him during that time and can help us establish where he went and whether he met up with anyone.

“Anyone with information that might help our investigation is urged to contact us.
