A YOUNG chef has plunged 300ft to his death from a cliff after taking new killer party drug Ivory Wave.

Michael Bishton, 24, from Ryde was the first person in Britain to die after taking the mind-bending legal high.

In a tragic coincidence, Michael’s body was found at sea only minutes after his fiancee discovered she was pregnant with their second child.

Ivory Wave - dubbed worse than ‘meow meow’ – is being openly sold as ‘soothing’ bath salts for £15 a packet.

The drug – also known as Ivory Coast or Purple Wave - brings euphoria but the high is followed by hallucinations, paranoid delusions and acute agitation that can take three days to wear off.

In recent weeks, dozens of young people have been hospitalised nationwide after dabbling in the drug.

Father-of-one Michael suffered paranoid hallucinations from the drug last Tuesday and took another dose on Thursday.

His mother says that he appeared depressed on Thursday night and claimed he was going to see his doctor before vanishing.

Fiancee Samy Betts, 21, told today how she was frantically trying to phone Michael on Saturday with news of her pregnancy – unaware that he was dead.

In a heartbreaking message at 1.36pm, she asked her Facebook friends: ‘Does anyone know where Mickey is? Is he missing? Just found out I’m three weeks pregnant.”

Shortly after 2pm, his body was spotted in the sea near the Island’s village of Bembridge by a fisherman and retrieved by lifeboat crews and a coastguard helicopter.

Michael was wearing his favourite England top – a replica of John Terry’s number 6 shirt – and shorts and had major injuries consistent with falling from the coastal cliffs.

Police are probing his death but it is not known whether he deliberately jumped or accidentally fell to his death
