A young mother who was expecting her second child has died in Co Antrim.
The woman, aged in her 20s, was found after emergency services were called to reports of a fire at the property on Whitepark Road in Ballycastle.
It was reported around 5.30pm.
In a statement the PSNI said: "Police attended the scene of a sudden death of a woman in her 20s in the Whitepark Road area of Ballycastle this evening, Tuesday 3 October."
"The death is not being treated as suspicious."
Local councillor Cara McShane said the community had been left devastated.
"The entire town has been left reeling from the news," said the Sinn Fein representative.
"The victim of tonight's tragedy is a young mother, who was also expecting her second child, and her family are well-known in the local area in what is a tight-knit community.
"I have extended my condolences to the family of the victim and I know that people in the local community will rally round to support her husband, child and wider family circle in the difficult days ahead."
