An update has been issued on two teenagers from Sheffield who died at a Bridlington holiday park.
Cherish Bean and Ethan Slater died on 18th February at the Little Eden Holiday Park.
An investigation into their deaths is ongoing.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson says the cause is still unknown: “I can now confirm that post-mortem examinations had taken place yesterday (Sunday, 22 February) which have returned an inconclusive result, and further testing is required to determine the cause of Cherish and Ethan’s death."
Three men, aged 27, 33 and 42, arrested in connection with the incident have since been released on conditional bail.
They were all arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
“I would like to offer my reassurance that this update does not represent the conclusion of our enquiries and there is significant work progressing simultaneously, including specialist analysis, searches of the premises, and the extensive review of all the information collated in coordination with partner agencies.", Detective Chief Inspector Ben Robinson continued.
He says carbon monoxide poisoning remains a primary line of enquiry.
A cordon at the site remains.
