Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Dylan was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination revealed injuries to be consistent with a collision with a vehicle.

A 42-year-old man who was previously arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving was released with no further action as officers are satisfied he was not involved in the collision.
