The Police Service of Northern Ireland said officers remain at the scene of a sudden death in Larne this morning, Friday 10th November.
Police received a report yesterday afternoon, Thursday 9th 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, we will not know the cause of death and would, therefore, urge people to refrain from speculation in relation to this death.
