Two men have now been arrested on suspicion of theft and supplying prohibited drugs. 

An investigation is underway to establish the cause of Dylan’s death. 

Paying tribute to Dylan, his family said: 

“Our Dylan was a loving, kind and a very trustworthy individual. He saw the good in everyone and that was his downfall.

“He loved to travel and would give the world to anyone. He was the heart of our family and words can’t describe how devastated we are.

“Our home will never be the same without him. We love you son, brother, cousin and friend. May you rest in peace, darling.”

Detective Inspector Rebecca Boyce of Greater Manchester Police said:

“We are still working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding Dylan’s death.

“This has been a fast-moving investigation and we have now made two arrests, however our investigation continues and we need witnesses to come forward.
