The death of a child in County Tyrone is being treated as suspicious, police have said.
A man and two women, all aged in their 20s, have been arrested.
The child died at an address in Windmill Court in Dungannon, on Sunday.
A post mortem examination will take place to determine the cause of death.
Deborah Erskine, Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) assembly member for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, has asked the community not to speculate on the details of the case.
"It is important that the full facts surrounding this case are established and the investigation that is underway can conclude as quickly as possible," she said.
"The death of a child is particularly shocking and my thoughts are with all those who are suffering today as a result."
Dominic Molly, Sinn Féin councillor for Mid Ulster, also expressed his condolences, describing it as a "tragic situation".
“I ask that people give the police time and space to investigate it fully so they process can be seen through," he continued.
SDLP councillor Karol McQuade called on anybody with any information to contact the police, adding: "It’s just tragic when a child has been involved in an incident like this."
Barry Monteith, an independent councillor for Mid Ulster, said the death was "extremely shocking and tragic".
"All we can do is have our thoughts and feelings for all the people that love that child and express sympathy, because every child deserves love," he added.
