Tributes have been paid following the sudden death of 21-year-old mum, Shannon McCann who died suddenly in her Randalstown home on Saturday 12th October.
It comes as the Police Service of Northern Ireland this morning confirmed that a man arrested in connection to the young woman’s death has been released on bail.
