Two men have been arrested after the death of a baby boy, police have said.

Officers were called after the child was taken unresponsive to a Blackpool hospital on 27 July, where he later died, Lancashire Police said.

A 34-year-old man was held on suspicion of murder while another man, aged 30, was held on suspicion of causing the death of a child and child neglect.

Both men, from Blackpool, have since been released on conditional bail pending further inquiries.

A spokeswoman from Lancashire Police said post-mortem tests had been carried out and further investigations were being undertaken into the cause of the baby's death.
