Heartbroken mother of tragic teen starts petition to have carbon monoxide alarms in all holiday lets
A grieving mum whose daughter died in a holiday lodge is demanding that it is compulsory for all vacation lets to have carbon monoxide alarms fitted.
Devon Andrews, 32, demand comes after her 15-year-old daughter, Cherish Bean, and the teenager's 17-year-old boyfriend, Ethan Slater, tragically passed away after alleged carbon monoxide poisoning.
The childhood sweethearts, from Sheffield, were staying in a cabin at whilst on a family holiday at Little Eden Holiday Park near Bridlington when it is thought odourless and colourless gas took their lives.
An inquest into their deaths held earlier this year at Hull Coroner's Court has not yet delivered a conclusion, however Humberside Police previously confirmed carbon monoxide poisoning was a main line of inquiry.


The petition orders the government to make it a legal requirement that all holiday accommodation, including short-term lets and rentals, install and maintain working carbon monoxide alarms.
The mother says her campaign has "never been about politics" but to stop "preventable" deaths.
Devon, also from Sheffield, said: "Our petition aims to encourage greater public awareness and to open conversations around whether existing regulations and safety requirements go far enough to protect people staying away from home.


"We believe that everyone should be able to go on holiday and return home safely to their families. Cherish was my world. We had the most incredible bond, and she wasn't just my daughter, she was my best friend.
"She was kind, funny, caring, talented and had the ability to light up any room she walked into. Ethan was exactly the same. He was loved as one of our own and brought so much happiness into our lives.
"When we lost them, our family lost two beautiful young people with their entire futures ahead of them.
"We are calling for stronger awareness and improved safety measures surrounding carbon monoxide monitoring within holiday accommodation, holiday lets, staycations and short-term rental properties.
"For me, this campaign has never been about politics. It has always been about my daughter, Cherish, and her partner, Ethan. The purpose of all this is to help prevent other families from experiencing the devastation that we have endured."
Prior to her death, on February 18, the schoolgirl had complained to Devon of a headache before she went to bed in the lodge.
As of March this year, police chiefs have said a 41-year-old man had been arrested and released on bail pending further inquiries.
Three other men, aged 27, 33, and 42, who were previously arrested as part of the investigation, remain on conditional bail.
Cherish's dad Grant Bean, 33, had since had a whole back tattoo of his daughter inked onto his back in her memory.
The father-of-three had four seven-hour-long sessions over four days so he could have the extraordinary metre tall tattoo.
He said: "After losing Cherish I wanted to be able to carry her with me everywhere I go and although she is always in my heart a picture of her tattooed on me felt right."
Alongside the campaign for installation, the tragic mum also asks for mandatory regular safety checks and proper enforcement to ensure they are working properly.
In the petition, Devon wrote: "This petition is written by a mother whose heart has been broken forever.
"Stronger laws are needed to ensure all holiday accommodation has working carbon monoxide alarms to prevent further devastating loss."
Devon said the law will be "built on love" and not "anger" - so far it has gotten over 6,100 signatures.
She said: "It is about remembering two wonderful young people, protecting future families, and making sure that Cherish and Ethan are never forgotten.
"Carbon monoxide is often referred to as the silent killer because it cannot be seen, smelled or tasted. Yet the consequences can be catastrophic.
"As a mother, I cannot change what happened to Cherish and Ethan. I cannot bring them back. But I can fight to ensure that their lives leave a legacy.
"If sharing their story helps raise awareness, improves safety standards, or ultimately saves even one life, then their legacy will continue to make a difference."
