Police are at the scene of a sudden death in Larne this morning (Friday 10 November).
Officers received a report yesterday afternoon (Thursday 9 November) of a medical emergency involving a child, at a property in the Loran Avenue area of the town.
A child was taken to hospital, but sadly passed away.
A post mortem will now be carried out today to determine the cause of death and enquiries remain ongoing.
Until a post mortem is completed, police will not know the cause of death and would, therefore, urge people to refrain from speculation in relation to this death.
