Police today confirmed he has sadly died in hospital following the horror on Thursday.
A 27-year-old woman arrested on suspicion of child neglect has been bailed until July 26.

“Firstly, our thoughts are with the family of the boy who sadly died in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest. We are supporting them as best we can at this extremely difficult time.
“We have made an arrest in relation to this incident and are not looking for anyone else as a suspect.
“I would ask for the public to please avoid speculation about the incident and to respect the boy’s family at this deeply upsetting time.”
