A three-month-old baby girl has died following an incident with a dog in a woodland area in Lincolnshire.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at Ostler's Plantation around 11pm on Sunday, but sadly, the baby passed away.
Lincolnshire Police have opened an investigation into the death.
A 40-year-old woman and a 54-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog that was out of control and remain in custody.
Chief Superintendent Andy Cox said: "This is an exceptionally sad incident, and one that we know will impact the local community, or indeed anyone hearing about it.
"There may be a temptation to speculate about what happened while people attempt to understand this tragedy, and we'd ask people to avoid doing so, particularly on social media where facts can become distorted.
"We will do everything we can to establish what has happened, and we'd like to thank everyone for their support."
