Tayside Police can confirm that a post mortem examination has been undertaken today (Thursday, July 2) on a four-week- old baby boy who died suddenly at a flat in Dundee earlier this week.

The examination took place at Yorkhill Hospital in Glasgow this morning and the infant’s death is still being described as unexplained at this time, pending the results of tests taken at the post mortem.

Police officers were called to a flat in Buttars Place in the Charleston area of Dundee shortly after 3am on Tuesday, June 30. Ambulance staff had also attended at the address, but tragically the child was later declared dead at the city’s Ninewells Hospital.

Tayside Police will not formally name the child or release his details at this time and a full report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal in due course.
