“Police believe the death could have been a result of taking an illegal drug which is described as a red triangle shape with a superman sign on it,” a spokesperson for West Mercia Police said.
“Similar incidents are being investigated by Suffolk Police, which have occurred over the past few days.”
All the victims were aged in their 20s and fell ill after taking the class A drug on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

Another man was taken to hospital and although his condition is critical, it’s thought he will pull through.
The news comes as police issued an amnesty to anyone who would surrender the drugs.
"What we say to anyone who has got possession of them to please come forward and give us the information we need to try and safeguard everyone and surrender them,” Superintendent Louise Pepper said.
“Our priority is saving further lives and making sure that individuals don't come to harm.
“So if you've got the drugs what we will say to people is surrender them, you won't be arrested and you won't be prosecuted. Our priority is saving lives.”
Similar drugs with a near identical logo have previously been sold in the Netherlands, with experts saying the drug contains “a very high dose of the dangerous substance PMMA,” which in some cases leads to physical reactions, including an increased heart rate, which can lead to fatalities.
