However, the patient did not need to be transported to hospital. Police have been making inquiries following the sudden death, a police spokeswoman said. The child’s death will be referred to the coroner, who will rule on the cause of death. “This is an absolute tragedy for the family, and police’s thoughts are with the family at this time,” she said.
