The BBC's Julian Fowler says the authorities are trying to establish what caused the accident
A boy has died in a slurry tank accident at a farm in County Antrim.
A man in his early 50s, believed to be the primary school pupil's father, was critically injured in the incident on Ballynaloob Road near Dunloy.
It is understood they were overcome by fumes on Saturday afternoon. The Health and Safety Executive is investigating.
A police spokesman said: "At the request of family members, police will not be releasing any further details at this time."
DUP MP Ian Paisley Jr said: "It is deeply distressing to learn of yet another death near a slurry pit."
He added: "These accidents are tragic as they remind us of the real dangers the farming community face every day."
Sinn Féin assembly member Daithi McKay said: "Local people here are shocked at what has happened earlier today, as are the farming community across north Antrim."
TUV assembly member Jim Allister said: "The dangers of farming are ever present and when they claim lives, then it comes home to us all just how vulnerable farming families can be."
It is the latest in a long line of fatal accidents involving slurry tanks on Northern Ireland's farms.
The most high profile incident was in September 2012, when Ulster rugby player Nevin Spence, his father Noel and brother Graham died after they were overcome by fumes on their family farm.
