    An engineer is alleged to have supplied ecstasy to US polo star, Lauren Biddle, before she died in his Christchurch spa pool


    Joseph McGirr earlier pleaded not guilty before a jury trial began at Christchurch District Court this morning.

    Today, McGirr admitted a charge of cultivating cannabis.

    The 39-year-old was arrested after Biddle's sudden death, at a small gathering in October 2018.

    He was charged with supplying the 22-year-old the Class-B controlled drug, and attempting to pervert the course of justice by hiding her clothing after her death.
