THE devastated parents of a six-year-old girl who died at a New Forest campsite in the early hours of Good Friday have paid tribute to her.
Lee and Tracey Harris, the parents of Isabelle Harris said: “We are all absolutely devastated about what has happened.
“No words are strong enough to describe how we feel at the moment.
“Isabelle was our whole world; everything we ever did was for her.
"She was a really special girl and this is a huge loss to everyone who knew her.”
The couple were released without charge on Friday evening after police concluded following the results of a post mortem that Isabelle’s death was not suspicious.
They had been arrested on suspicion of murder by police called to the Holmsley campsite after the girl collapsed.
A statement from the couple, Lee aged 30, and Tracey aged 40, continued: “The police investigation has concluded and a file will be passed to the coroner.
“We really don’t want to discuss this further. We want to find out why this happened and we would like to leave the police to get on with this.
“We would like to thank the owners of the camp site for their assistance and apologise to other campers on the site who were there to enjoy their bank holiday weekend.
“We would like to give special thanks to the first responders and paramedics who treated Isabelle at the camp site.
“Our thanks also go to Hampshire Constabulary. We thank them for the way they have treated us, being as open and honest as they can.
"We also appreciate their ongoing support and have no issues with their actions.”
