Mixing cocaine and alcohol creates a "deadly combination" which can increase violent and impulsive behaviour, doctors are warning.

At least 13 "self-inflicted" deaths happened in a year in England among people who took the two substances, the Victoria Derbyshire programme found.

Logan Woolliscroft died after falling from a cliff after taking cocaine and alcohol in 2018 - his father said he believed the mixture was to blame.
