Hundreds of people have donated money to support the family of two baby brothers who died after they were found not breathing at a house in Bridgend.

The five-month-old boys, who were two of a set of triplets, were found unresponsive on Saturday morning.

More than £3,700 has been raised online, with donations still climbing.

Det Insp Dean Taylor, from South Wales Police, said: "There is nothing that leads us to believe that this was anything other than a tragic accident."

He added: "Inquiries are continuing in to what caused the young boys' tragic deaths.

"At this moment in time, there is nothing to suggest that carbon monoxide poisoning was the cause."

Councillor Stuart Baldwin said the community had rallied together to support the family

Emergency services were called to an address in the Wildmill area of the town at 10:05 BST on Saturday.

The brothers were taken to the Princess of Wales Hospital where they were later pronounced dead.

DI Taylor said: "Speculation around the cause of the deaths is unhelpful and is compounding the grief of the babies' family members, who are continuing to be supported by detectives.

"I would again request that the family's wish for privacy at this traumatic time is respected."
