Detectives have travelled to a remote Top End community to investigate the death of an 11-year-old child.
The child died in the Arnhem Land community of Gunbalanya, 240 kilometres east of Darwin, a police spokeswoman said.
The child's death was reported to police yesterday morning.
"Detectives from the Crime Division have attended a West Arnhem community to investigate the circumstances," police said in a statement.
No further details have been provided, and it is not known if the death is being treated as suspicious.
Police said a file will be prepared for the coroner.
