The families of a teenage couple who died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning at a holiday park in east Yorkshire have paid tribute.

The couple have been named by police, as a second man was arrested.

Cherish Bean, 15, and Ethan Slater, 17, were discovered at a rental property at Little Eden Holiday Park in Bridlington on Wednesday.

A 42-year-old man has become the second person to be arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter over their deaths, Humberside Police said.

An extension has been granted in relation to a 33-year-old man who was arrested on Thursday, allowing police to detain him for a further 12 hours.

An online fundraising page set up for Ethan’s family has so far raised more than £16,000.

The page says: “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.”

The post continues: “He was the most kind hearted boy. With a natural warmth. He was funny, he was protective and he carried himself with a quiet strength and loyalty that made us so proud to call him our son.

“He was loved beyond measure. A son, a brother, a grandson, a friend. His smile lit up a room, and his absence has left a silence that feels impossible to fill. Our lives will never be the same without him.”

In a separate statement, Cherish’s mum paid tribute to her daughter, saying: “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.”

She added: “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.”

Chief Superintendent Matt Peach from Humberside Police said a cordon remains in place at the holiday park and police “continue to work in co-ordination with the Health and Safety Executive alongside our partners from Humberside Fire & Rescue, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council”.

He 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.

“Since we received the call of concern for safety on Wednesday morning, a dedicated team of detectives and specialist officers have continued to carry out detailed inquiries to establish the full circumstances surrounding the deaths, which are thought to be connected to carbon monoxide poisoning.”
