The mum of a teenage girl found dead has issued a heartbreaking tribute as she urges parents to “hug your children”. The mother of Cherish Bean, 15, was found dead alongside her boyfriend Ethan Slater, 17, who has said how her family “will never recover” after their deaths while on holiday in Yorkshire.

The pair from Sheffield were on a trip to Eden Holiday Park in Bridlington when they were found dead in the chalet on February 18. Officers from Humberside Police have begun investigating the tragic incident and suspect the couple died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The force has since arrested two men on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.

Now paying tribute to teenage Cherish, her mother has said she was a “perfect girl”.

Releasing a touching and heartfelt tribute, the distraught mum added: “My girl, my world, my love, my everything. 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. There are no words, I am shattered and will never recover. Hug your children tonight you do not know how lucky you are.

“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.”

Paying tribute to Ethan, his mum also added: “Ethan was the most beautiful young man to walk the earth. He was generous, loving, charming and kind. He would help anyone and was a strong family man. He took care of himself and loved his mum, stepdad, brothers and sister.

“There’s not one person who would dislike him even if they tried. His smile was contagious, and he could light up any room he walked into. Ethan, you will always be remembered for the amazing young man you were, and the one you were destined to be. We hope you know how loved you are our boy, rest well and keep the table warm for us up there.

“Cherish was the apple of Ethan’s eye. Everyone could see how smitten they both were. She was beautiful, elegant, and made Ethan happy. We know you will keep each other young and safe. Look after each other. Rest in peace.”

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.”
