A seven-year-old British girl who died after the bouncy castle she was in was blown away at a fun fair suffered multiple injuries, a post-mortem examination has shown.
Tributes have been paid to Summer Grant, from Norwich in England, who was seriously injured when the inflatable was apparently swept about 150 metres across a park in Harlow, Essex, on Easter Saturday.
Police said the post-mortem examination established the cause of death as multiple injuries.
A man, 27, and 24-year-old woman, who were arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence following the child's death, have been released on bail pending further inquiries.
A collection of floral tributes and teddy bears adorned the entrance to Harlow Town Park a day after the tragedy as people came to pay their respects.
The fair was closed on Sunday but a steady trickle of people visited the park, leaving messages including: "God has taken a beautiful girl for his angel. RIP Princess."
A sudden gust of wind blew the bouncy castle off the ground and over a number of trailers and caravans on the site, Ray Smith, from the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain said.
"It was a sudden gust. Had it been a consistent wind they would have closed down all the inflatables," Smith said.

Video footage has emerged of police running to the scene, and detectives from the Kent and Essex serious crime directorate, which is leading the investigation, have appealed for anyone with footage or information about what happened to contact them.
Police said weather conditions on the day will be a factor in their "lengthy" and "complex" investigation.
Last year a bouncy castle collapsed while children were playing on it during a fair in the same park. It was reported at the time that three children had to be treated by paramedics when the inflatable castle collapsed on them.
