A 13-year-old girl named Ella Walden died after an e-bike incident in Corby between 2pm and 3pm on April 7. Northamptonshire Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the e-bike incident that led to the teenager's death. In connection with the incident, a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and road traffic offences.
The man has been bailed pending further investigation, according to police statements. Northamptonshire Police shared a tribute from Ella Walden's family, who expressed profound grief over their loss. According to the family, their lives will never be complete again after losing Ella.
Our lives will never be complete again after losing our beautiful Ella. She was the most amazing, strong-willed, feisty girl, with the most precious smile. Ella had an infectious personality and could light up even the emptiest room. She made a lasting impression on everyone she met, and you could hear her before you saw her, so life is so quiet without her.
They described her as living life to the fullest. Key unknowns persist in the investigation, including what specifically caused Ella to fall off the e-bike and what evidence police have gathered.
As a family, we were the lucky ones to have her as ours, but she has been taken from us far too soon. Ella was incredibly loyal and always stood up for what she believed in. She had a kind heart and was always there for anyone who was struggling.
Ella loved being in the limelight and truly excelled in drama - she was never happier than when she was performing. She lived life to the fullest. To the world she was Ella, but to us she was the world. Life will forever have an empty space without her, but her memory will live on with us all forever.
