Tom Wardill, of Owthorne Close, Bridlington, was found at a house in Blackburn Avenue just after midnight on Monday.

Although it is not yet known how he died, it is thought it could be liver failure.

Police said Mr Wardill also had serious injuries, which are thought to be from a fall. He was taken by ambulance to Bridlington Hospital, where he died.

Five people – three men and two women – were initially arrested in connection to his death, but they were released without charge after post-mortem results were inconclusive.

A spokesman for Humberside Police said: "Police are satisfied the death is not suspicious. The matter is now being dealt with by the coroner.

"Police would like to thank members of the public for their help and co-operation."

Family and friends have paid tribute to Mr Wardill.

His sister Sarah said: "He lived life to the full and he was always there for you. He would be there at the drop of a hat. His family meant everything to him and we are coping as well as can be expected."

She said he enjoyed socialising, was always up for a laugh and could be a bit of a joker.

Carmen Butterworth, a close friend of Mr Wardill's, said: "He was funny, a lovable rogue.

"He was always there when you needed him and would come across and say 'are you alright?'"

Mrs Butterworth said she would remember the parties they went to and the laughs they had together.

She said he was also very close to his family. He lived with his father and had one brother and five sisters.

Mr Wardill lived in Bridlington all his life and went to New Pasture Lane School and then to Headlands.

Another friend Lisa Websdale sent her condolences to the family through the Free Press website.

She said: "I loved Tom like a son and I just wanted to say how I will miss the laughs we used to have in my mum and dad's back garden. Love to all the family."

Officers had been called to a disturbance at the house in Blackburn Avenue earlier in the evening.

One of the people at the party said people were just drinking and dancing, no one was fighting.
