THE parents of a two-year-old boy who died after collapsing at home have been arrested on suspicion of neglect.

Toddler Dylan Hughes was taken to hospital from his home in Pricetown, near Nantymoel, Bridgend, South Wales, just before midnight on Wednesday last week but later died.

The cause of his death is not yet known and toxicology tests are being carried out.

Unexplained

South Wales Police confirmed today that two people have been arrested on suspicion of wilful neglect.

Dylans parents, Paul and Crystal, were taken to hospital earlier this week after a suspected drink and drugs overdose, and were released yesterday.

Mr Hughes was arrested on Monday, and the boys mother was arrested today.

A South Wales Police spokeswoman said: "In relation to the death of two-year-old Dylan Thomas Hughes, police can confirm that a 30-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of wilful neglect.

"They have both been released on bail pending further inquiries. Officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Dylans unexplained death."

The spokeswoman would not confirm if police were probing reports that the two-year-old died after accidentally swallowing heroin substitute methadone.
