Northbank Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Matt Peach said: “Our thoughts remain with the loved ones of both teenagers, who have been named by their families as 15-year-old Cherish Bean, and 17-year-old Ethan Slater, who tragically lost their lives.

“Specialist trained officers are providing ongoing support through this incredibly distressing time and I would ask again for people to refrain from speculation in respect of their privacy.

“This remains a very complex investigation with numerous lines of enquiry being followed up, and I can confirm a second man, 42-years-old, has been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and remains in custody.

“An extension has been granted in relation to the 33-year-old man who was arrested yesterday (Thursday, 19 February) to detain him for a further 12 hours.

“Since we received the call of concern for safety on Wednesday morning (18 February), 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.”

Tributes have poured in with a fundraiser set up for Ethan by his parents, which has raised more than £16,000 to give him the “best possible send off” that “truly celebrates who he was”.

The page reads: “It is with unimaginable heartbreak that I write this. Our son Ethan tragically and unexpectedly passed away at just 17 years old, alongside his beautiful girlfriend.

“No parent should ever have to write these words. No family should ever have to face this pain. Ethan had his whole life ahead of him. He’ll never get to pass his driving test. He’ll never celebrate his 18th birthday.

“He’ll never reach the milestones we all assumed were waiting for him. He was just beginning his journey into adulthood, full of plans, laughter, and a future that was taken far too soon.”

“We want to honour him in a way that truly celebrates who he was and ensures he is laid to rest with the dignity and beauty he deserves.”
