The families of two teenagers found dead at a Bridlington holiday park have paid tribute as investigations continue.

On Wednesday (Feb 16), two teenagers were found dead in a rental property located at Little Eden Holiday Park in Bridlington.

An extensive investigation remains underway following the discovery.

On Friday (Feb 20) the teenagers were named by their families as 15-year-old Cherish Bean and 17-year-old Ethan Slater.

The families of Cherish and Ethan have paid tribute to both teenagers.

In tribute to Cherish, her mother said: “My girl, my world, my love, my everything.

“My perfect girl, my angel, has left this world and we are broken as a family. I am broken as a mother, and I will never ever be the same again.

“If you know me, I live and breathe my babies, and we were away for a few nights making the best memories ever. We have had the best life together and it has been ripped from under us.

“There are no words, I am shattered and will never recover. Hug your children tonight you do not know how lucky you are.

“Ethan, bless you darling, such a good boy with a kind heart and I loved you like my own.

“I am broken, please respect us whilst we grieve.”

Paying tribute to Ethan, his mother said: “Ethan was the most beautiful young man to walk the earth. He was generous, loving, charming and kind.

“He would help anyone and was a strong family man. He took care of himself and loved his Mum, Stepdad, brothers and sister.

“There’s not one person who would dislike him even if they tried. His smile was contagious, and he could light up any room he walked into.

“Ethan, you will always be remembered for the amazing young man you were, and the one you were destined to be. We hope you know how loved you are our boy, rest well and keep the table warm for us up there.

“Cherish was the apple of Ethan’s eye, everyone could see how smitten they both were. She was beautiful, elegant, and made Ethan happy. We know you will keep each other young and safe.

“Look after each other. Rest in peace.”

Ethan’s dad added: “I am a broken man without you son. I will love you eternally my boy. You were taken way too soon from me. Love you always.”

Northbank Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Matt Peach, said officers were following numerous lines of enquiry as part of what he described as a “very complex investigation”.

He confirmed that a second man, aged 42, has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and remains in custody.

An extension has also been granted to detain a 33-year-old man who was arrested on Thursday (Feb 19) for a further 12 hours.

Chief Superintendent Peach said: “Since we received the call of concern for safety on Wednesday morning (Feb 18), a dedicated team of detectives and specialist officers have continued to carry out detailed enquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding the deaths, which are thought to be connected to carbon monoxide poisoning.

“The cordon remains in place at Little Eden Holiday Park and we continue to work in coordination with the Health and Safety Executive alongside our partners from Humberside Fire & Rescue, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council.”
