Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Pete Long, said: “My thoughts continue to be with Daniel’s family and friends as they try to come to terms with his death.
“My team has worked tirelessly since we were called to the Racecourse last week to establish the facts around what happened, and we now believe no one else was involved in the events that led to Daniel’s death.
“The details of the case will now be shared with the Coroner ahead of an inquest which will determine the cause and circumstances of Daniel’s death.”
