Nine bailed in dead boy inquiry

Nine people arrested over the death of a 15-year-old boy in South Yorkshire have been released on bail.

Emergency services were called to a property in Tickhill Road in the Maltby area of Rotherham just after 0130 BST.

The boy found there was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. A force spokesman the boy's death was not as a result of violence.

South Yorkshire Police said six men and three women had been quizzed over the death and released.

A police spokeswoman said: "We can say now that this death is not a violent death.

"Once the post mortem has been concluded, we will be evaluating subsequent toxicology reports."

A post-mortem examination is expected to take place on Monday.
