Railway teen death 'suspicious' | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
The death of a 15-year-old boy on railway tracks near Portrush, County Antrim, is being treated as suspicious by police. | |
It is understood police are investigating reports the boy was being chased just before he died. | |
The incident was reported at about 2300 GMT on Friday night. The railway line has been closed between Portrush and Coleraine. | |
Assembly member John Dallat said the boy's death was a "terrible tragedy". | |
"I would encourage anyone who knows anything about the events leading up to the tragedy to get in touch with the police and tell them what they know," he said. |
