During a visit to Cornwall, Burnham told the media: "It's a tragedy on so many levels, but particularly just for everybody who knew Jason, his family obviously, his friends. We think of them today.
"It's not a moment for any rushing to judgement. It's a moment for reflection, I would say, reflecting on how things came to this."
