Teenagers named after holiday park deaths believed to be linked to carbon monoxide poisoning
A second man has been arrested as police continue their investigation into the deaths of two teenagers at a holiday park in Bridlington.
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.
The teenagers have been named by their families as 15-year-old Cherish Bean and 17-year-old Ethan Slater.
Specialist trained officers are continuing to support their loved ones during what police described as an “incredibly distressing time”.
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.”
