Family handoutTributes have been paid to two teenagers who died at a holiday park in East Yorkshire.
Humberside Police confirmed Ethan Slater, 17, and Cherish Bean, 15, from Sheffield, died at Little Eden Holiday Park, near Bridlington, on Wednesday.
The force said their deaths were “thought to be connected to carbon monoxide poisoning”.
Two men, aged 33 and 42, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter and remained in police custody, the force added.
Family handoutIn a statement issued through police, Cherish’s mum said: “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.”
Ethan’s mum said: “Ethan was the most beautiful young man to walk the earth. He was generous, loving, charming and kind.
“We hope you know how loved you are our boy, rest well and keep the table warm for us up there.”
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.”
A fundraising page has been set up by Ethan’s family.

The 33-year-old was arrested on Thursday and an extension to keep him for a further 12 hours had been granted, while the 42-year-old had been arrested since, police said.
Ch Supt Matt Peach said: “Our thoughts remain with the loved ones of both teenagers.
“This remains a very complex investigation with numerous lines of inquiry being followed up.”
