THESE are the first pictures of two teen clubbers who died after it's believed they took "party drugs" in a popular nightspot.

Aaron Reilly and Joshua Brock, both 19, died in Derriford Hospital, Plymouth, after collapsing at the nearby Pryzm nightclub.

However, Joshua's grieving relatives said it was "totally out of character" for him to take drugs, while Aaron's family said he was "respected as a non-drug user."

It's believed the teens - who both lived locally - took what they thought was MDMA (ecstasy) at the club during a Basshunter gig.

Paramedics were alerted officers at around 1.40am on Saturday that two men had been discovered laying unconscious in the nightclub, the Plymouth Herald reports.

Joshua was in his third year studying for a diploma in aircraft engineering at the Flybe Training Academy in Exeter. Aaron was described as a keen skateboarder who loved to play computer games.

Aaron's heartbroken younger brother Kian said: "My brother was one of the most responsible people I ever knew and everything he achieved I was so proud of but I was so envious of his talent.

"I tried so hard to follow in his footsteps and I still do now but I no longer have anyone to look up to and I don't have my big brother to help me through life.

"I can't believe he was taken from me and my family from one silly mistake, just trying to have fun on a night out with his best mates. He will be forever missed and I will never forget the amazing brother he was."

A statement from the Reilly family added: "Aaron was a much loved son, brother, grandson and boyfriend.

"He loved to skate, play computer games. Like most teenage lads he liked a night out with his friends and was respected by them as a non-drug user.

"Aaron had the whole of his life ahead of him and it has all been taken away from him way too soon by one stupid mistake and not knowing the devastating consequences."

Joshua's parents, Steve and Sandra Brock, and his siblings Liam and Demelza, said he was a "loyal mate" to his pals.

In a statement, the Brock family said: "Joshua was in his third year studying for a diploma in aircraft engineering at the Flybe Training Academy in Exeter when his life was cut short.

"His interests were wide and varied, he loved to drive, snowboard, go-karting, micro-lighting, playing guitar and drums and he had a brilliant career ahead of him.

"He was the kindest, most helpful person you could hope to meet and had a great sense of humour. He also enjoyed helping his dad to build our house at weekends and in the holidays.

"One moment of madness led to this tragedy."

Moment Pryzm nightclub in Plymouth is evacuated after two teens collapse

DJ Basshunter was reportedly “devastated” following the deaths.

The Swedish-born musician, real name Jonas Erik Altberg, 32, released a statement through his team confirming his heartbreak over the tragedy.

Disturbing footage shows the moment panicked clubbers were evacuated from the nightclub in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Footage posted on Snapchat shows the frantic scenes outside Pryzm where worried and confused clubbers were evacuated after the teenagers collapsed.

A university student who was partying at the nightclub described the moment he realised another reveller was seriously ill.

Ben Eddy, 26, a student at Plymouth University, said: "It wasn't very nice. "It was about 1.30am toward the end of Basshunter's set and it was really busy and I turned around and the guy was on the floor and there were already staff there with him.

"He was shaking and almost fitting. He was taken out 10 minutes later in a wheelchair.He didn't seem responsive at all at that point.

"Fifteen or 20 minutes later we were in a different room and I saw a security guard walk up to the DJ. The music stopped and the DJ asked us to leave the building via the fire exits.

"I assumed at that point that it was related to the guy who collapsed in the main room where Basshunter was.

"He was the only person I saw so I was surprised when I saw this morning that two people had died. I didn't see anything at all of the other person."
