Two teens died in 'Man Cave' while watching TV on family break at Bridlington holiday park

Two teenagers tragically died of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning while watching TV during a family holiday at a Bridlington holiday park.

In a tragic incident at Little Eden Holiday Park near Bridlington, two teenagers, Cherish Bean and Ethan Slater, are believed to have died from carbon monoxide poisoning while watching TV in a cabin known as the 'man cave'. The event unfolded when Cherish, 15, and Ethan, 17, took a break from the main family cabin to enjoy some time in the smaller cabin. Approximately 50 minutes later, Cherish returned to her mother, complaining of a headache, but soon went back to the 'man cave' where the fatal incident occurred.

Cherish texted her mother saying 'goodnight' and expressing her love before she and Ethan were later found dead. The situation prompted police to remove a boiler from the cabin as part of their investigation into the suspected carbon monoxide leak. This unfortunate event has raised serious concerns about safety precautions regarding carbon monoxide exposure in holiday accommodations, especially as families seek leisure time away from home.

The inquest into the deaths has shed light on the circumstances surrounding this heartbreaking tragedy, prompting calls for increased awareness and safety measures around carbon monoxide poisoning in rental properties. The local community has expressed their shock and condolences to the families affected by this incident, marking a somber moment for all who knew the teenagers or were affected by the tragedy in Bridlington.
