An 18-year-old man has been charged with manslaughter and was due to appear at Loughborough Magistrates' Court this morning after the body of Ryan Morrell was found in a burnt out car at the weekend.
Two 17-year-old boys, who were also arrested in connection with the incident, have been released with no further action.
Police were called to Washstones Lane, in Frisby on the Wreake, on Sunday (7). They found Mr Morrell's body in the vehicle at about 12.45am.
It is believed that Mr Morrell had been at the nearby Fristock Festival and had slept in his car that night.
A post mortem examination has taken place and further tests are being carried out to determine the cause of death.
Detective Chief Inspector Matt Hewson, who is leading the investigation, said: "We would still like to speak to anyone who was in the area on Saturday evening and can assist with the investigation.
"The incident took place close to the Fristock Festival and we believe there may be people who attended this event that could have information which will help with enquiries.
"If you've heard any rumours locally or you have any information about the events leading up to the body being discovered please contact us. All calls received will be treated in confidence."
