Passion & The Emporium's joint statement read as follows: "As promised this is an update of the incident at Passions 25th Birthday Party at The Emporium Nightclub in Coalville on 14th March 2020.

"EMPORIUM: Emporium Management and Security were made aware of an incident in the early hours of Sunday morning (15/03/20) involving a collapsed male in the venue.

"The Security Team quickly responded and gave immediate aid together with the Venue's Safety Officer and on site Medic.

"Due to a quick deterioration of the male's condition, resuscitation was immediately started until the arrival of East Midlands Ambulance Service who continued to attempt resuscitation.

"Despite the best efforts of all involved for nearly an hour, it is great sadness that the male did not respond to any treatment and he was pronounced deceased after numerous attempts at recovery.

"The Emporium and other parties are working cooperatively with Leicestershire Constabulary to ensure that the investigation into this incident is dealt with respectfully and effectively.

"At this time, we do not wish to speculate on the cause of death and we will wait for the result of the Coroner's inquest.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to friends and family at this very sad time."
