Ceon Broughton (arriving at Winchester Crown Court today) denies manslaughter and supplying a class A drug
Jurors were today shown harrowing footage of Holby City actor John Michie’s daughter hallucinating after a drug overdose and ending with her lifeless body on the ground.
The 50-minute video was shot by Ceon Broughton, Louella Fletcher-Michie’s rapper boyfriend, who allegedly supplied her with party drug 2C-P and left her to die at the Bestival music festival.
Clips show the 24-year-old on her back with bloodied hands, screaming for her mother and father, trying to eat thorns and hitting and slapping herself.
Broughton, 29, can be heard telling Louella, ‘sort yourself out, battle through it’, ‘shut up, shut up’ and ‘you can’t show [your family] this’.
Broughton filmed part of the video in selfie mode – talking to the camera and playing with a fidget spinner.
Prosecutors say grime star Broughton could have saved Louella if he had sought medical help – but he failed to do so because he was afraid of being arrested.
Jurors at Winchester Crown Court were today first shown footage of Louella ‘tripping’ on the class A substance.
Throughout she shouts incoherent sentences, yells ‘Dad I love you’ and calls ‘Mum’ around 80 times as Broughton films her on his iPhone.

In the disturbing clip, she repeatedly says ‘this is the best trip I’ve ever f*****g had’.
Louella also shouts sentences including ‘I’m seeing colourful taxis’ and ‘magical monkey riding the forest’.
He began recording the video in a forest at the Bestival site at 5.53pm on September 10, 2017.
Around five hours later, Louella was dead.
A court heard yesterday Broughton made several more recordings of Louella as her condition severely worsened instead of seeking medical help.
In one distressing audio clip from 8.49pm, Louella no longer sounds capable of saying words and instead just makes high-pitched noises and appears to start eating thorns.
Broughton can be heard saying ‘Louella it’s me’ before beginning to laugh.
He then says: ‘Stop eating thorns, you are just going to cut your beautiful f*****g skin.’
Jurors were also shown ‘live’ iPhone images of Louella’s last moments.
The moving images taken at 10.41pm show her bloodied hands while moving images taken at 11.24pm and 11.25pm show her lying lifeless on her back on the ground.
The court has heard the hospital area on the festival grounds in Lulworth Castle, Dorset, was a mere 400 metres away but Broughton made no attempt to take her there for medical assistance.

Broughton allegedly gave pretty Louella a ‘bumped up’ dose of 2C-P and even filmed her after she died, just one hour before her 25th birthday.
Louella’s father, Holby and former Coronation Street star Mr Michie, 62, made a 130-mile dash from his north London home after his wife Carol Fletcher heard Louella ‘screeching’ on the phone.
Prosecutor William Mousley, QC, said Broughton, who has recorded with rap artists Skepta and Wiley, didn’t seek medical help as he ‘didn’t want to be arrested’ as he was serving a suspended sentence.
He said Broughton ignored desperate pleas from her parents telling him to take her to medics.
Broughton, from Enfield, London, denies manslaughter and supplying a class A drug.
The trial continues.
Louella could be seen shouting loudly, repeating incoherent sentences and even hitting herself in a series of clips
