Police have issued further updates in their investigation into the tragic deaths of two teenagers at a holiday park south of Bridlington.
Cherish Bean, 15, and 17-year-old Ethan Slater, from Sheffield, were found dead at Little Eden Holiday Park on Wednesday, February 18.
In a statement, the senior investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson, said: “I can now confirm that post-mortem examinations which have taken place yesterday (Sunday, February 22) have returned an inconclusive result, and further testing is required to determine the cause of Cherish and Ethan’s death.
“This outcome comes at what is understandably an extremely difficult time for their families, and our thoughts remain firmly with them as they continue to grieve the loss of their loved ones. They are being kept fully informed of all developments and continue to be supported by specialist trained officers.
“This remains a highly complex and multi-layered investigation, and I can now confirm the 27-year-old man who was arrested on Saturday, February 21, in connection with our inquiries, has since been released on conditional bail. The two other men who were arrested, aged 33 and 42, also remain on conditional bail.
“I would like to offer my reassurance that this update does not represent the conclusion of our inquiries and there is significant work progressing simultaneously, including specialist analysis, searches of the premises, and the extensive review of all the information collated in coordination with partner agencies.
“While the medical cause of death has not yet been formally confirmed, carbon monoxide poisoning remains a primary line of inquiry. We are carefully reviewing and analysing all evidence gathered to ensure we establish the full circumstances in the lead-up to and surrounding these deaths.”
He added that a cordon remained in place at the site while further specialist work was carried out, and that police are continuing to work closely with the Health and Safety Executive, Humberside Fire & Rescue, and East Riding Council.
DCI Robinson said: “We understand the significant impact this incident has had on the wider community and thank residents for their cooperation through our continued commitment to conducting a thorough investigation.”
