Police issue appeal after death of ten-year-old boy

'Consider the impact of speculation on family'

Police have issued an appeal on behalf of the family of Jack Whorrall, who passed away suddenly at the age of ten.

Jack's death is not being treated as suspicious, but remains unexplained, with officers awaiting a report by Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool.  

Detective Inspector Neil Craig has asked the public to consider the impact speculation about the circumstances of his death will have on his family and friends during a difficult time.

He's conducting an investigation on behalf of the Coroner of Inquests, and has extended his sympathies to Jack's family.
