A postmortem test discovered that Cerys had a toxic level of ecstasy in her body, 3.3 micrograms per liter of blood. James McCairn, the drug dealer, was 16 at the time of Cerys’s death. In June 2022, two years later, James was found guilty of selling the drugs that killed Cerys. He was also found guilty of supplying ecstasy to other teens in Greenock. Although his public advocate appealed the decision, McCairn was sentenced to seven years in prison for drug dealing and causing Cerys’s death.
