2 Held in Oxford Drug Death

OXFORD, England — A cousin and a close friend were charged today with supplying heroin to Olivia Channon, the daughter of a Cabinet minister, who was found dead after end-of-term celebrations at Oxford University.

Channon, 22, the daughter of Trade and Industry Secretary Paul Channon, died in a room at Oxford’s Christ Church College where her boyfriend, Count Gottfried von Bismarck, 23, had been hosting a party. He is the great-great-grandson of Prince Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian chancellor. The two who were charged with supplying heroin to Channon in the weeks before her death are Sebastian Guinness, her cousin and a heir to the brewing and banking dynasty, and Rose Johnston, her former roommate.
